What's New in Tracerlink

2.1

June 3, 2026

Version 2.1 adds altitude calibration for Tracerlink. You can now set up the altitude display more deliberately with manual altitude calibration, QNH-based altitude and source labels. Where supported by the connected device and data stream, Tracerlink can also use GNSS-assisted calibration for the altitude display. This update also refines the watch settings workflow for pilots who want to prepare their display before launch.

Perfekt für Hike and Fly

Super Idee und gut umgesetzt! Genau das was ich seit Jahren suche. Nutze es mit einem XC Tracer mini II GPS und der Apple Watch Ultra. Ein Problem mit Bluetooth und dem Anzeige-Name (XCTracer und nicht XC-Tracer) wurde super schnell und mit Netter Kommunikation des Entwicklers gelöst! Danke Vojtech, mehr davon!!!

Response from developer

Vielen Dank dir für die Bewertung! Freut mich, dass Tracerlink mit deinem Setup gut funktioniert. Genau für solche Hike-and-Fly-Setups wurde die App gemacht. Die Anpassung mit dem Bindestrich ist umgesetzt und wird im nächsten Update auch unterstützt. Schöne Flüge. Vojtech

Need to support other units of measurement

App looks good on first glance but it only works in metric units of measure.

The app needs to either pick current chosen units from XC Tracer on first connect or offer its own settings screen to provide the user to select their own preferences.

For info in US most of us use feet for altitude, mph for wind and ground speed and feets per minute for vario. Hope this can be added to the app.

Thanks for considering
