Methodology

Blog post: Ground Control Stations - Studying a redesign

15 respondents All male Profession Around 20-30 years-old

Country

Setup, Planning and Flight Monitoring are the most used features

Massive set of controls are difficult to understand and use

Performance is a big concern

Lack of explanation for new users

Summary

Get the vehicle recognized by the GCS and customize the UI according to that

Mission planning is hard once the UI doesn’t work properly to edit waypoints

GCS for mobile are growing, but the lack of hardware requisites is a concern
