This message contains both the position and velocity of the Bebop in an ENU aligned odometery frame also named as ``odom``. This frame name is configurable (see :ref:`sec-params`) The cooridnate frame convention complies with ROS REP 103 (:ref:`sec-coords`). Please not that since odometery is calculated from Bebop States (see :ref:`sec-states`), the update rate is limited to **5 Hz**. +Also note that only the orientation states (yaw, pitch and roll) are only available as soon as the driver is launched. The other states in odometry will be equal to 0 until the takeoff command. .. _sec-gps:
