Draw it. Fly it. Share it. FlyIt lets pilots sketch an exotic or precise path right on the map and instantly converts it into a series of latitude/longitude waypoints. Export your route as a Garmin FPL file, KML, or CSV and open it in your favorite flight-planning software on the same device. Why pilots love it Freehand drawing → waypoints: Turn any shape into a navigable series of Lat/Long coordinates in seconds. One-tap exports: Create FPL, KML, or CSV and share via Files, AirDrop, or the iOS share sheet. Map-first workflow: See your pattern as you draw—great for training routes, airshow practice, skywriting-style shapes, or just-for-fun sightseeing paths. iPhone & iPad: Use the device that’s already in your flight bag. File formats FPL (Garmin Flight Plan) KML (Keyhole Markup Language) CSV (Comma-Separated Values) Notes & safety FlyIt creates and exports route data; it does not file flight plans and is not for primary navigation. Always verify routes against current charts and regulations, and obtain ATC clearance as required.
