Overview

One app for every MAVLink UAV

Notoxytech GCS Companion for Windows shows flight data, the map and the camera picture on one screen, and controls the vehicle, the gimbal camera and the laser rangefinder.

It runs in Microsoft Edge or Chrome on a Windows 10 / 11 laptop and connects through Notoxytech GCS on a remote controller, over the remote’s Wi-Fi hotspot — or over any MAVLink UDP, TCP or USB link.

The vehicle is flown with the remote controller’s sticks; the laptop handles the rest with the screen and keyboard — telemetry, video, camera control and the laser, through the app on the remote.
