Follow-me mode

[dccourt]

On devices that support it (i.e. most modern phones and tablets that have geolocation), it'd be cool to be able to use the HTML5 location APIs to enable automatic follow-me mode.

At it's simplest, this would mean simply automatically setting the guided-mode waypoint based on current device coordinates, but it's probably more useful to maintain some small distance between current location and target waypoint.

Perhaps that could simply be a timer-based queue of coordinate updates, linked to a configuration on the UAV that tells it to accept a fairly lax radius for the waypoint.

This is a worthwhile feature to add, but I'm overcommitted at the moment, can someone volunteer to work on this?

I'm up for working on it once I get up to speed.
