    But I want to know when can the "droidplanner" match for IOS?

    I am actively working on a new version of MAV Pilot see for the app store for the current release http://appstore.com/mavpilot

    What is the DO JUMP  mission item??

    It allows you to make a repeatable loop of waypoints, i.e. repeat for a number or repeat for ever. aka GOTO mission item #number X. Using GOTO would have been ambiguous, so JUMP was chosen as the keyword.

    I want to ask  about default altitude value

    Does it connects this value with auto take off from tower app??

    If we change this value to 3 meters the take off will lift off at 3 meters? .

    THANK YOU

    Great stuff Fredia.  I love the new EKF and Vibration viewers in particular.

    I'd like to point out that these viewers and return-to-me require the vehicle be running Copter-3.3 which will become the default version within a week most likely.
