MissionPlanner
Mission Planner is a ground control station (GCS) application designed for monitoring, planning and controlling UAVs (drones and rovers) running the open-source ArduPilot autopilot system. It provides point-and-click waypoint entry on interactive maps (Google Maps, Bing, OpenStreetMap), flight planning and routing, real-time vehicle monitoring and telemetry, configuration of autopilot parameters, and post-flight analysis of recorded logs. The application is used by hobbyists, researchers, and professionals working with ArduPilot-based aircraft, copters and rovers. Mission Planner is written in C# and .NET and is actively maintained by the ArduPilot community as open-source software.

1 suggestionMission Planner is a Windows-primary application built in C# and .NET. There is no native macOS version — the application is not available for Mac through official channels. Users on macOS have traditionally relied on alternative ground control stations such as QGroundControl, which is cross-platform and runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs, or Ardupilot's own Mission Planner web interface. If you need a GCS for ArduPilot on macOS with native Apple Silicon support, QGroundControl is the recommended open-source alternative and provides similar mission planning, parameter configuration, and telemetry monitoring capabilities.
