Claim 0:
1. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising:
a propulsion system;
a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) sensor;
a camera; and
a controller including logic that, in response to execution by the controller, causes the UAV to:
in response to detecting a loss of tracking by the GNSS sensor:
determine an estimated location of the UAV on a map based on a location image captured by the camera;
determine a route to a destination using tracking parameters embedded in the map, wherein the map is divided into a plurality of sections and the tracking parameters indicate an ease of determining a location of the UAV using images captured by the camera with respect to each of the sections, wherein determining the route includes planning the route to avoid passing over one of the sections of the map having a corresponding tracking parameter that does not meet a threshold value of ease for determining the location of the UAV using the images; and
control the propulsion system to cause the UAV to follow the route to the destination.
