Keyframe Navigation Details

The statements below were found on the SkyDio website. Reading between the lines, it seems like the SkyDio must be using its IMU sensor for Keyframes. Does anyone know for sure?

1. "NOTE: KeyFrame does not rely on GPS and uses the visual navigation system of your Skydio drone."
2. "Placing your initial keyframe close to your Launch Point will improve the accuracy of your flight path. KeyFrame paths set far away from your launch point may be less accurate."
3. "To fly the same spline, ensure that you launch from the same position and orientation as your previous flight. After launching, select the KeyFrame Skill settings menu and load your previous KeyFrames."

It's a cool skill but not perfect yet. Understanding a little more about how it works might help use it more effectively.

There's no word in the paragraph you quoted that would indicate it uses the IMU.
