Great simple Gliding Navigation, but very poor mapping
Lufty is a great little app and very simple to use. Great tasks, Navigate to a turn point and nice simple, easy to use, interface. It’s great for recording tracks, and easy to export. Used on an iPhone SE it utilises the built in barometer for altitude. It integrates with weglide to declare and upload tasks.
However I have given it only 3 stars because despite making the suggestions several months ago and again recently received no indication this will change - the issue is the level of mapping using the current Open Map map level remains so poor that it’s almost unusable. The main problem is there is no indication of urban areas. A large city is just a white dot and exactly the same as a small village. You cannot see roads or railway lines. It’s difficult to see the difference between open moorland and rural fields. The only indication is the change of colour for height. In flatland countries like the U.K. this doesn’t show nearly enough detail.
As such you could not use it for reliable navigation in much of the UK in my view.
Other competing products have a choice of mapping, which do show enough features and I suggest this is remedied. If it was I think it would be a great app, especially for people that just need something that’s easy to use.
