This is a &#8220;Ground Control Station for your Pocket&#8221;. Its target audience is iPhone users (iPad version will come later). Pilots often fly unaccompanied and this can make it difficult to use a laptop at the same time. This is more so when a pilot is using a semi-auto mode like Alt-Hold. Using your iPhone instead is a great way to keep focused on the MAV and still have all the useful information in reach. With inbuilt text-to-speech support your iPhone will let you know instantly the status and if anything starts to go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>MAVPilot will incorporate the \u00a0FIND MY DRONE feature.<\/p>\n<p>Features Targeted for V1.0 of MAVPilot<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 16px;\">Telemetry\u00a0Screen showing flight information e.g<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Speed<\/li>\n<li>Altitude<\/li>\n<li>Yaw<\/li>\n<li>Rate of Climb<\/li>\n<li>Battery Voltage<\/li>\n<li>Battery Remaining %<\/li>\n<li>GPS accuracy<\/li>\n<li>Throttle %<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Mode Control e.g.\n<ul>\n<li>Auto<\/li>\n<li>Stabilize<\/li>\n<li>Alt Hold<\/li>\n<li>Land<\/li>\n<li>RTL<\/li>\n<li>Loiter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Map View with Mission outline<\/li>\n<li>Mission Waypoint editor\n<ul>\n<li>includes waypoint parameter editing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Configuration\n<ul>\n<li>Calibration for level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Commonly used parameter editing\n<ul>\n<li>Tuning of common parameters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The app is also compatible with Bluetooth Low Energy link to a long range radio like 3DR 915\/433MHz Telemetry Radio.
