Virtual Dashboard vs AviateHub

Bring your iPhone and iPad's sensors to life on Virtual Dashboard. Arrange a variety of different gauges to create your own custom dashboards. You can choose from: ○ Speedometer (with peak hold) ○ Odometer (distance travelled, resettable) ○ GPS Altimeter (absolute altitude) ○ Barometric Altimeter (relative altitude) ○ Accelerometer (with peak hold) ○ Artificial Horizon (pitch and roll) ○ Compass (with magnetic heading and true track indicator) ○ Elapsed time (with average speed) Swipe to display a navigational map with resizable gauge overlays. You can select from road, bike, nautical chart, satellite, topographic, and survey (blank) modes.  The map shows your current coordinates, track, and heading, and drops breadcrumb markers as you travel. Tap to set a destination and the map displays your distance, bearing, direction to steer, and ETA to the destination. Search the map for points of interest or street addresses. Customize your units, map features, and gauge behavior. Select from one of the many available themes (theme requires in-app purchase). Connect your external MFI GPS device and see faster updates. We currently support the Bad Elf GPS units.

AviateHub is built for VFR pilots who want planning, aviation charts, briefing, navigation, and community in one cockpit-grade mobile app. BUILT BY ONE PILOT-IN-TRAINING AviateHub is a solo project from a software developer who left high-tech to pursue aviation — and built the planner they wished existed while learning to fly. It started as a personal tool for real flights; now it's shared with pilots who want the same thing. Things won't always be perfect. If something breaks, a quick note through Support helps more than a one-star review — your feedback genuinely shapes what ships next. PLAN YOUR ROUTE • Tap the map to build multi-leg VFR routes • Search airports and VFR fixes • Snap to official navaids and edit waypoints easily • Add return legs to your departure airport • Rehearse your flight with map simulation before you take off • Map winds aloft with per-leg wind barbs and direction/speed readouts AVIATION CHARTS & MAP MODES • Chart-friendly basemap aviation overlay by default • Airspace, airports, and navaid symbology on the map • One-tap dark mode for a cockpit-style map at night or in low light • Keep your route, winds, and navigation HUD in either map mode BRIEF WITH CONFIDENCE • Departure and arrival METAR/TAF with flight category • Winds aloft at your planned altitude — on the map and in your navigation log • Wind-corrected magnetic headings in your navigation log • Full route details: leg distances, courses, ETE, fuel burn, TOC/TOD, and vertical profile FLY WITH LIVE GPS NAVIGATION • Track-up map rotation keeps your heading in front of you • Cockpit bar with compass heading, live wind, altitude, distance, and ETA • North compass when the map rotates • Real-time cross-track error and distance to next fix • Live ETA and arrival detection • Voice copilot for leg changes, off-track alerts, airspace warnings, and arrival notices SMART AIRSPACE • Controlled and restricted airspace loaded along your route • In-flight breach alerts and spoken warnings • Stay aware of the sectors that matter to your flight AIRCRAFT PROFILES • Save cruise speed, climb performance, fuel burn, and more • Weight & balance envelope and compass deviation card • Aircraft data flows into saved plans, briefing, and offline bundles SAVE, UPDATE & SHARE • Save private or public flight plans • Update your own routes when plans change • Discover community routes, like, rate, and comment • See load and completion counts when pilots fly your plans OFFLINE MODE (AviateHub Pro) • Cache your route, per-leg winds aloft, departure and arrival METAR/TAF, nav log, airspace, aircraft profile, and corridor map tiles — including the aviation chart overlay • Keep navigating when cell service disappears — GPS keeps working FREE VS PRO Free includes interactive VFR planning, aviation charts with overlay, dark mode map toggle, live navigation with track-up map, METAR/TAF and winds aloft briefing, map wind barbs, smart airspace, voice copilot, community features, a starter aircraft profile, and up to 3 saved flight plans. AviateHub Pro unlocks offline flight bundles (including chart map tiles), unlimited saved plans, and your full aircraft fleet. Subscriptions are optional and managed through your Apple ID. IMPORTANT AviateHub is a VFR planning and navigation aid. It is not a substitute for official charts, NOTAMs, regulatory compliance, or pilot-in-command judgment. Always verify weather, airspace, and route information before and during flight.
