      I have your example and it gives me x&y coordinates at the start, but it does not update as the drone moves. Is there anyway to track how far we've gone? Can I pitch forward for 10 feet, roll right for 15 feet?

        Sadly, no. The sensors aren’t sensitive enough for that. An issue I’m trying to resolve myself as I’m trying to have it fly semi autonomous, and within a bounded area, but the drone natively on its own can’t do that either. Don’t try to “calibrate” to zeroize the X/Y either. I’ve runs tests to get reliable and consistent X/Y mapping/flight and it capable. I’ve even tried landing, “calibrate” to try to reset the X/y but alas.
