## What is Lotse?

Lotse is a navigation app for glider pilots. Plan your task on the ground, then fly it.

PLAN
• Racing and AAT tasks with lines, cylinders, sectors, FAI sectors, keyholes and AAT areas
• Import and export CUP files; waypoint collections with photos (CUPX)
• Tasks, waypoints and gliders sync between your iPhone, iPad and Android devices

FLY
• GoTo and Task modes
• Glide range on the map: where you can glide from your height, with wind and terrain
• Wind, MacCready, bugs and ballast, with your glider's polar
• Info boxes you can change, and page layouts you can edit and share
• Airspace warnings ahead of your track
• IGC flight recorder
• Replay of IGC files and a simulator for practice on the ground

DATA
• Airports and outlanding fields across Europe, with runways and frequencies
• Airspace for each AIRAC cycle, and NOTAMs on the map
• Offline maps by country: terrain, contours, airspace, places and NOTAMs
• Live glider traffic from the Open Glider Network
• Connect your Bluetooth flight instruments

Lotse is for orientation only. It does not replace the aircraft's instruments, official charts, the AIP or NOTAM briefings.
Landing fields can be wrong or closed. Traffic from the Open Glider Network is not a collision warning.

No advertising, no analytics, no tracking.
