MavGCS
MAVLink Ground Control Station
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
Fly with your ArduPilot, PX4 or INAV aircraft from your iPhone: HUD, satellite map, terrain radar, Live AGL and weather. Try the built-in demo flight, no drone needed.
MavGCS is a ground control station for drones and model aircraft that use the MAVLink protocol: ArduPilot, PX4 and INAV. Connect your iPhone to your aircraft's telemetry and see everything that matters on one landscape screen.
No drone at hand? Open Settings, choose Demo and tap Connect: a simulated aircraft takes to the air so you can try every screen and button.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
• Artificial horizon with airspeed and altitude tapes, heading, climb rate, throttle and wind
• Battery voltage, current and remaining charge, with a battery gauge
• Systems panel: gyro, accelerometer, compass, barometer, GPS, rangefinder, airspeed and EKF, each green, yellow or red
• EKF and vibration health at a glance
• Sixteen live readings: speeds, altitude, distances, satellites, attitude, wind and pressure
MAP
• Satellite imagery, with place names and roads in Hybrid view
• The aircraft, home and the path flown, with lines for heading, track, where it is steering and where it will be
• Weather radar for 50 km around the aircraft
• Terrain is kept on your phone, so the terrain instruments work without a signal; choose how much in Settings
TERRAIN AWARENESS
• Terrain radar: the ground ahead, coloured by how much clearance there is
• Live AGL: the ground along your track, your height above it now and the smallest gap ahead
• Compass rose showing the way home, your course over the ground and the wind
CONTROL
• Arm and disarm with hold-to-confirm buttons
• Change flight modes, fly to any point by tapping the map, and set speed, altitude and loiter radius
• Choose how often telemetry is sent, to suit slow radio links
• ETA to the next waypoint, and directions to the aircraft in Google Maps
CONNECTS OVER
• UDP or TCP: WiFi telemetry bridges such as mLRS and ELRS, LTE telemetry, or a simulator (SITL)
MavGCS is open source (GPL-3.0). Always fly within the law and keep your aircraft in sight: MavGCS is an aid, not a certified navigation or collision-avoidance system.
