FIND MY DRONE actively connects to your personal UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) using the popular MAVLink protocol used by ArduPilot and other Open Source autopilots. If you were forced to land your drone some distance away, this convenient App will determine the latitude and longitude of the drones' location and its' distance from you. The inbuilt compass can then direct you to the drone, saving you a haphazard and time consuming search. In addition, the "Manual Mode" allows you to search for your drone even when using an alternative autopilot or Radio Control telemetry units. Just enter the last known coordinates from your drones’ telemetry and FIND MY DRONE will calculate the bearing and direct you to that location.
