Introducing MAVLink HUD: The Professional Glass Cockpit for Your Radio

For years, ArduPilot and PX4 pilots have been stuck between two extremes when it comes to field telemetry. On one hand, you have full-blown ground stations like Mission Planner—powerful, but heavy and clunky to use at the flight line. On the other, you have Lua scripts like Yaapu—portable, but limited by the small screens and processing power of your radio transmitter.

MAVLink HUD was born to bridge this gap. We've built a native Android application from the ground up to provide a professional, "Glass Cockpit" experience that fits in your pocket and runs on the device you already carry.

Native Performance vs. Generic Wrappers

Unlike many other ground station apps that use cross-platform frameworks like Qt, MAVLink HUD is built using native Android components. Why does this matter? It means silky smooth 60fps rendering of your flight instruments, instant startup times, and significantly lower battery drain. When you're in the field, every percentage of battery and every millisecond of latency counts.

Built for the ELRS Ecosystem

If you're flying ExpressLRS (ELRS), MAVLink HUD is your new best friend. By connecting to your ELRS transmitter's Wi-Fi hotspot, the app subscribes directly to the MAVLink stream coming from your flight controller. No extra cables, no complex Bluetooth pairing—just clean, reliable data where you need it.

True Offline Capability

Connecting to your ELRS transmitter's Wi-Fi backpack provides a rock-solid data link, but it also means your Android device loses its standard internet connection. This makes traditional map streaming impossible during flight. To solve this, we've integrated a massive 3GB offline world map. Once downloaded during initial setup, you have detailed terrain and navigation data available anywhere on the planet—no internet required. It's not just a convenience; it's a mission-critical feature that ensures your dashboard is always fully functional, even in the most remote locations.

MAVLink HUD isn't just an app; it's a dedicated flight instrument designed to make your missions safer and more professional. Leave the laptop in the truck. Welcome to the future of field telemetry.
