There's a few data items I'd like to have available in the Go app and I'd like to see what others think about it.
Two navigation related items that I'd like are 'Heading' and 'Bearing'. I'd like to have a display that shows that actual direction the copter is pointed and also the bearing from home or RC to the current copter position. This info would be added to the existing flight info at the bottom left.
The other thing I'd like is a better indicator of gimbal position with readout for both pan and tilt. What we have now is a kind of bar graph beside the camera data for tilt but the only feedback for pan is the flashlight icon on the copter icon that provides a rough idea of heading. I like the icon approach but would like numerical data was well. So, a value for pan (-330 to 330 with 0 pointing forward) and a value for tilt of (-90 to 30).
Additionally, whichever item is being controlled at that time by the left scroll wheel on the RC should be indicated by the numerical display flashing so that you know at a glance if pan or tilt is the current selection. This is similar to the approach they already use to tell us which of the camera settings is adjustable with the right scroll wheel. I'd prefer not to have to scroll and find I had the wrong item selected.
There are other data items I'd like as well but I understand the limited space to put that information on the 8-10 tablets most of us are using. Knowing the instantaneous power consumption would be very helpful. And at the top I'd like to see two values for the battery: % remaining and temp. Perhaps combining the power, temp and % remaining at the top in the battery section.
The heading and bearing data would be useful if you lose sight of the copter and the more detailed gimbal data would make it easier to control that.
