NaviLogic iGlide - the Soaring Navigation app for iOS
iGlide is a soaring navigation App with advanced functionality that is amazingly easy to use. iGlide supports glider pilots during a competition, a cross-country flight, or just during short recreational flights.
iGlide comes in three editions at three price-points. Starting with "iGlide lite" and "iGlide advanced" up to "iGlide pro". All apps can be upgraded later-on by paying the price difference in an in-app-purchase.
Features of iGlide lite:
- Simple and easy to use Direct-To function to a single waypoint.
- Easy to read, high-resolution terrain map with detailed topographical features.
- Free daily updates for aviation data such as airspaces, airfields, and navaids.
- Final glide calculator with Ballast, Bugs, MacCready, and aircraft polar data.
- Profile view showing terrain and airspace en route.
- Vertical airspace overview and airspace warnings
- Free airport and airspace-database with free updates
- Flight-statistics with logbook
- Traffic is displayed on the map if an appropriate data source is connected (FLARM, AIR TRAFFIC or similar).
- Visual and voice traffic warnings, if an appropriate data source is connected.
- Many display options individually configurable.
- Flight-logging (IGC and KML format).
- Live tracking on different servers (livetrack24, skylines, sky-mobile).
- Track-Line showing the preceding flightpath on the map.
- Data import for all common data formats (CUP/DAT/OpenAir/PLR etc.)
- Live METAR weather data for selected airports.
Additional features in iGlide advanced:
- Route planning over any number of waypoints.
- Directly upload flight logs to OLC (www.onlinecontest.org) or send via eMail.
- Rubberband function for quick and easy route manipulation.

- FAI triangle optimization.

What's New in iGlide Lite
2.9.63
May 15, 2024
What's New:
* In addition to GlideRatio (L/D) to next waypoint, there is now a new NavBox option to show Required GlideRatio (L/D) to the final destination
* Bugfix for editing Route Waypoints: This includes setting altitude limits, or editing angles on keyhole sectors
* Bugfix for LXNAV BLE Module not connecting
* More improvements to Airspace Overview; improved readability of texts
The app could be improved by showing the track flown, i.e. both out and return in addition to the track displayed to a destination. This is would be particularly useful while flying in blue wave. The map page used to add area has no maps available to download. Who’s minding the app support? This is unacceptable for an app that costs more than $100!
