Over the past couple of weeks I have been busy reworking my original APM Mission Planner. Together with my partner/designer Samantha Nelson we have focused on improving the APM Planner’s interface, ideally resulting in a more intuitive user experience.
Below are a couple screenshots of the new APM Planner!

I did also a lot of flying during the weekend, mainly tuning. Works great, thanks you.
1. Battery status is for me THE number one issue I miss most.
2. If you do tuning in sunny conditions, its even on a laptop very difficult to view the graphics. I would
love to get thicker lines and/or have the possibility to change the colour of the lines for improved visability.
Krill,
Ill have a look at most of what you said and rectify.
1. you must be using the current trunk beta code for that to work.
2. ill see what i can do.
3. ill see what i can do.
4. save log just saves the telemtry log. to get the actualy log use the terminal screen and log download.
5. ill check that one out
6. adding distance to home should be easy.
7. and voice, ill add something
1) About new "Fly to here" function. It doesn't work for me. The plane was in AUTO mode, then I clicked on the map and pressed "Fly to Here" and nothing happened, the plane continued to do the mission. Maybe I did something wrong?
2) Another issue concerns WP number in Autopilot status in APM Planner. It indicates the number of the waypoint to which the plane is going at the moment. But when the last waypoint is passed it continues to show this waypoint. I think, it could be better to show "home" when all the waypoint passed instead of indicating the last one.
3) Altitude is shown above the sea level and sometimes it's a little difficult to recalculate it to the ground altitude in mind. Is it possible to show altitude above the current ground level?
4) When I press "Save log" button it creates just an empty file. Sometimes it creates file with "bad log number" row. What can be wrong here?
5) I tried to save WP file, it worked good. But when I tried to Load WP file, gps coordinates and some other parametres were incorrect, however WP file contained the right data. Any ideas why it happens? It seems to be something incorrect in reading file process.
6) "Distance" and "Prev" values in the left-top corner of the map are really useful. To my mind, it could be also useful to add a value which will show the distance between the current mouse position and home.
7) I think it would be good to have optional voice signalisation function to inform about some important events such as mode change, passing through a waypoint, loss of connection and etc.
Thanks, that is so cool. Presumably, if I had a cam on the QUAD at the other end of an Xbee link, then it would be able to display that instead as FPV?
Fantastic.
Rob
