## What is TASK MAKER?

【App Overview】 TASK MAKER is a specialized task creation tool designed with a map-centric approach. It offers an intuitive experience for planners and pilots to "create tasks directly on the map" based on geographic locations. Currently in its beta phase, the app prioritizes features tailored for paragliding and hang gliding enthusiasts.

【Key Features】

Map-Based Task Creation: Seamlessly create location-specific tasks while referencing map data.

GPX Integration: Import GPX files to organize and manage your waypoints effectively.

Airspace Overlay: Visualize designated airspaces while managing your flight tasks for enhanced situational awareness.

Instant Sharing via QR Code: Export your created tasks as QR codes for quick synchronization with external apps like XCTrack.

【Current Beta Specifications & Limitations】 This app is currently in beta. We are actively working to expand its capabilities in future updates.

Supported Files: Currently, only GPX format is supported for log imports.

Supported Airspace Areas: Currently, airspace visualization is limited to the "Ashio" and "Asagiri" areas in Japan.

【Privacy Policy】 Your privacy is our priority. All imported GPX files and created task data are processed locally on your device. Your location data and files are never uploaded to external servers without your consent.
