# SimpGCS

This program is a simple ground control station program. You can use the program to show MAV's position and attitude information through Mavlink protocol. Current, this program only tested for ArduCopter, although it may support other flight controller which use Mavlink. The map widget used in this program is based on opmapcontrol.
