What's New in pgpilot flight companion

2026.8.25

August 25, 2026

A snappier arrow, and many smaller improvements • Heading with gyro. The map arrow now also uses the phone's gyro to set the heading, making it much snappier when you turn in lift. • Forecast on flights. See the forecast on the day you flew. Good for future planning. • Terrain color auto-adjust. The terrain height color now adjusts to the region you are flying, so you get better contrast instead of a fixed color scheme for the whole world. • Live tracking every second, by default. Your buddies see you move smoothly across the map. • Live tracking, redesigned. One menu: a master switch, one update rate, and a toggle for each network you broadcast to - pgpilot, OGN, XContest, PureTrack and LiveTrack24. Switch the master off and nothing leaves your device, on any of them. • Airgram, richer. Sun, rain and gusts all on the chart! • Battery saver warning. If your phone's power saving is throttling GPS, the status bar now says so, because that is what garbles a track. • Offline maps. Download a pack for your area and fly with the full map, labels and all, and it stays with you across app updates. • Local. Voice follows the range you pick in Comms, so you hear the pilots around you rather than the whole world. • Radio. Cleaner VHF audio, steadier push-to-talk when several pilots key up at once, and settings that show what the radio applied. • Forecast and lightning. Coverage across the rest of Europe, and satellite strikes from France and Italy to Spain, Austria and Morocco. • Thermal forecast and cruise wind. More accurate lift, and a steadier estimate that holds back when confidence is low. • Hike and fly. Sharper automatic detection of what was a flight, what was a hike, and what was the gondola. • Account. Forgot password on the sign-in screen, and guests can keep their flights by adding an email. • Live count in the top bar, one tap from the live map. • Map. Contours at every zoom and in every style, plus airspace display and accuracy improvements. • Imports and flight stats. Steadier logbook and XContest syncing, and more accurate distance and speed on long flights. • Varios. Bluetooth varios feed the instruments at their full rate, and an XC Tracer's own wind solution is used when it sends one. • More wind stations. Monte Grappa and Bassano, alongside a fuller takeoff list. • Flight pages. See who gave kudos, your own flight titles lead their cards, and the blog reads in the app. • Area Contest. The map shows you the way in, and flights you import score straight away. pgpilot.app/areacontest • Android. Fixed a crash on launch right after installing, and a faster wait when a long flight finishes processing. • Plus a pile of minor bug fixes.
