Paragliding Navigation
Read full descriptionHide full description
Paragliding Navigation is a navigation, airspace-alert and flight-logging app built for paraglider pilots. It runs on your iPhone and on your Apple Watch at the same time. AIRSPACE GUARD - Worldwide CTR, TMA, restricted/danger/prohibited and ATZ airspace on the map - iPhone and Apple Watch alert you when you approach or enter an airspace - Vertical limits are watched too: you get a warning while thermalling up towards a TMA floor - Gliding sectors understood: inside a gliding sector (e.g. Oludeniz LTC6) the overlying TMA stays quiet and you are warned before the sector ceiling - Turn alerts on/off or mute a single airspace FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS - Barometric vario (GPS fallback), altitude, ground speed, track and height gain - Audio vario - Distance, bearing, ETE and ETA to a target - Required glide ratio and arrival altitude: see in advance whether you will make it - Metric, imperial and aviation units LIVE TRACKING FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS - When you start recording, the people you choose receive an e-mail with a tracking link - They follow your live position, altitude, speed, flight time and (if you allow) heart rate in any browser, no app needed - "Share my location" sends your live position via Messages, WhatsApp or e-mail without recording a flight - Off by default; when the flight ends the link stops working and the location data is deleted FLIGHT LOG - Automatic takeoff and landing detection - Recording continues with the screen locked or the app in the background - Every second: position, altitude, pressure, speed, track, GPS accuracy, vario and heart rate - Crash recovery: a flight is never lost - Calendar, list and all-time statistics with records - Detailed replay with altitude, vario, speed and heart-rate charts - IGC (XContest, Leonardo) and GPX export APPLE WATCH - The watch records the flight with its own GPS and barometer - Heart rate (read from Health) is merged into the flight - Live map, airspace radar, vario, ETE/ETA and flight log on the wrist - Flights move to the iPhone automatically OFFLINE MAPS - Download several regions in advance: no mobile signal needed in the mountains - Topographic, satellite and plain base maps PRICING All features are free for the first 7 days (no purchase needed, ads shown). After that the free mode shows only your position on the map. The yearly auto-renewing subscription "Pro" unlocks everything and removes ads. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.kalyndatech.com/privacy SAFETY This app is an aid. It does not replace official aeronautical charts, NOTAMs or ATC instructions. Airspace data comes from an open, community-maintained airspace database and may be incomplete or outdated. You remain responsible for your flight decisions. Heart rate is shown for flight context only and is not a medical measurement. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
