You may want to team up with Jonathan (Stronnag / MWP) for mission planner functionality. I think he's experimenting in decoding your MQTT data into MWP. https://github.com/stronnag/mwptools/issues/86

I saw already some example where he tracked my flight a few days ago, and captured the MQTT data, and showed it in MWP. Very impressive.

I do all my mission planning in MWP. Even though it's Linux only (I use it in a virtualbox VM), I think it's the best mission planner available. Would be great if we could directlt upload to the plane (perhaps even while already airborne).

But for monitoring during flight, I use iNav telemetry viewer instead.... much more convenient than carrying the laptop to the field.

Or perhaps combine with Inav telemetry viewer (Sergey / crazydude, Android). Although telemetry viewer doesn't have mission planning functions, he may perhaps be interested in at least read the MQTT data.

For example, show live telemetry feed over R9M / Bluetooth when available, and automatically switch to MQTT if not available / out of radio telemetry range.... Still, the BulletGCSS web UI does a pretty good job already. We can always keep both applications running.

Mission Planner for iNav (eziosoft, android) is pretty much dead / abandoned it seems....

Creating a new web based mission planner certainly is also an option, but perhaps easier to use already existing tools. Also, planning a mission is much more convenient on a large laptop screen, rather than a small mobile phone display with thick fingers....

Just my thoughts.

So many possibilities.... that's what makes this so interesting !
