## What is RunwayMap?

The interactive map gives you an overview of the airports. We have collected important information on every airport:

• Aviation Weather Forecasts
• 3D Approach View and 3D Airport Surroundings View
• NOTAM and Runways
• Airport Restaurants
• Webcams and much more

Download the versatile pilot app while you are at it.

Features:

VISUALIZE YOUR APPROACH AND LANDING IN 3D
The 3D feature is available for over 20,000 airports. Get a 3D approach view and a 3D airport surroundings view. With 3D PLUS you can preview your approach like you're right there in the cockpit. You can set your distance from the runway and adjust your glide path.

AVIATION WEATHER
See a visual display of the METAR and flight conditions on the map. In addition, you can see the decoded METAR with wind, clouds, gusts, and visibility on the airport's detail page.

Sunrise and sunset
On each airport's detail page, you can find the times for sunrise and sunset as well as the beginning and end of civil twilight.

Winds aloft
See winds displayed on the map at 6 different levels, from surface winds up to FL 150.

Weather PLUS
Based on the wind data from METAR or the forecast, the best runway for landing and the crosswind component will be displayed for the desired time.

For GAFOR and the weather parameters, you see the forecast for the next 5 days in 3-hour increments.

Check winds aloft, cloud cover, precipitation volume, and temperatures as well as the icing conditions.


MAP
Search by name or ICAO to discover new airports. Receive important information such as the address, position, runways, and airport restaurants. Mark and save what airports you’ve already flown to or those you’d like to fly to next. Save your personal notes for every airport.

AIRPORT RESTAURANTS
Where can you call in an order over the radio while you’re still up in the air? Which airport restaurant has a great sun deck with a view of the runway? In RunwayMap, you’ll find restaurants at and near airports. Easily find the restaurant’s opening times and contact info and see how far it is from the airport.

DOCUMENTS
With just a few clicks, add your flight documents, such as the Jeppesen approach charts, FAA terminal procedures and airport diagrams, ForeFlight manuals or the Garmin pilot’s guide. That way you always have them close at hand.

TOOLS & AVIATION CALCULATOR
Use the handy aviation calculator for conversions for distance, weight, temperature, and more. Have it display your QNH and QFE.

### 3/5 — Die App ist super

*2026-04-22*

Ich liebe die App, mal eben gucken ob ein Flugplatz offen hat oder die Telefonnummer raussuchen.

Leider sind die Infos manchmal verhaltet.

2 Sterne Abzug:
Die App entwickelt sich im Bereich News zur Bild Zeitung. Ich sehe nur noch Unfälle. Wenn ein Bericht mit Grund dabei ist, wäre das ok. Aber langsam haben wir ein Niveau erreicht, was nicht mehr schön ist. In der Autozeitung ist ja auch nicht jeder Verkehrs und verzeichnet.

Ich finde es schön, wenn die Sachlichkeit in dem Bereich wieder einkehrt!

### 1/5 — Redundante App

*2025-05-17, version 3.9.7*

Eine redundante App für den geneigten VFR-Flieger. Leider ist der Betreiber sehr unhöflich.

### 5/5 — Schöne App

*2025-02-20*

Informative App mit freundlichem Support.

### 5/5 — Great little app to have when flying

*2025-02-09*

I wish it had a  “dark mode” to make it easier when flying at night, aside from that, it’s great!

### 4/5 — Runway ist im iPhone 16 im falschen Format und funktioniert nur bedingt.

*2025-01-27*

Die zurück Taste ist außerhalb des sensiblen screen Feld und verunmöglicht einen Wechsel im Wetterbericht

### 3/5 — Schöne App aber …

*2024-07-24*

… schade, das nach so langer Zeit es immer noch nicht möglich ist, daß diese auch im Querformat startet. Es ist total nervig, sie im Flieger immer erst aus der Halterung zu nehmen, damit dann das Bild wieder gedreht werden kann. Deshalb nur 3 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Sehr gute Informationen

*2024-04-01*

Übersichtlich, gute Inhalte, macht Spaß zu lesen, übersichtliche Funktionen die Intuitiv zu bedienen sind.

### 1/5 — Geht nicht mit iPhone 14

*2023-02-01*

Aktuell nicht bedienbar mit iPhone 14, Flugplätze fehlen (LXGB) und schließen von Bildern aus den Posts auch defekt.

### 4/5 — Tolle App, aber…..

*2022-01-09*

…. warum kann ich die App auf meinem iPad eigentlich nicht im Landscape Modus (also quer ausgerichtet) nutzen? 
Mein iPad Cover erlaubt es leider nicht, das iPad senkrecht vor mich auf den Tisch zu stellen. Wenn das funktioniert gibt‘s 5 Sterne.

### 1/5 — Idee super - Umsetzung schwach

*2021-09-01*

Die Idee hinter der App ist super, aber die Umsetzung ist echt mies, was extrem schade ist. Intuitive und schnelle Bedienung geht anders v.a auf dem iPhone.

**Developer response:** Lieber Georg. Wir entwickeln die App laufend weiter und nehmen Deine Vorschläge gerne auf. Sende sie uns doch bitte an support@runwaymap.com.
