# VehicleGlobalPositionV0 (UORB message)
Fused global position in WGS84. This struct contains global position estimation. It is not the raw GPS. measurement (@see vehicle_gps_position). This topic is usually published by the position. estimator, which will take more sources of information into account than just GPS,. e.g. control inputs of the vehicle in a Kalman-filter implementation.
**TOPICS:** vehicle_global_position vehicle_global_position_groundtruth external_ins_global_position estimator_global_position
