DJI-SDK retrieve x,y Coordinates accurately. GPS is too inaccurate

I am trying to create an application with AR that will display objects hovering right on top of the drone to help the user flying experience (e.g. show an arrow or gimbals on your AR-goggles that follow the drone and shows where the drone is and its attitude when it is far away).

For this I need the X and Y coordinates of the drone to be able to place the arrow on top of the drone when the drone moves around. However the GPS coordinates returned by the drone through the SDK are only accurate to 1.5m or worse. Is there any better way to determine the drones position? Or retrieve some x and y values through the dji mobile sdk?

I am using a DJI Mini 2 and Micrososft HoloLens2 goggles.

Thank you in advance.

Is there any better way to determine the drones position? -->For DJI mini 2, the only way to determine location is by GPS. Or retrieve some x and y values through the dji mobile sdk? -->The MSDK provides two types of interface for obtaining information about the location of the drone. One type is obtained by GPS and the other is obtained by RTK. RTK data is more accurate to the centimetre level, but RTK is not available with the DJI MINI 2.
