SkyLogger vs Rogallo BlackBox

SkyLogger is a program for obtaining and storing flight data. The program is especially adapted for the usage by glider, hangglider and paraglider pilots. 
SkyLogger obtains the geodetic positions of the pilot during the flight and stores the data. Furthermore, the pilot is able to see during the flight the elapsed time, the distance to the take-off as well as the current ground speed and climb rate. A compass rose is indicating the current flight direction.
 For competitions the pilot's and the aircraft's name, the aircraft's ID and the to be flown route can be entered.
 During the flight the direction and distance to the next waypoint are shown on the display. After finishing the flight the stored geodetic data together with the data for the competition can be converted into the common IGC file format. Additionally, also other popular formats like GPX and KML are supported. The created files are stored on the iPhone or can be sent to servers or other computers. SkyLogger supports besides others the following features: - control by Apple Watch; - main data visualization on Apple Watch; - cockpit / instrument view; - 2D & 3D flight data visualization; - downloadable map data; - large and individually adaptable instruments on a moving map allow best viewing comfort; - north or in flight direction orientation of moving map; - live tracking support for Leonardo or Vgps servers - visualization of previously flown flights as track traces on moving map; - visualization of airspaces with user defined colors; - instrument showing the distance and direction to the closest airspace; - 3 axis acceleration measurements; - tracked flights are stored in highly efficient internal database; - default flight parameters can be stored and retrieved to make flight information entering for competitions easier; - SkyLoggerXXL supports common file formats like IGC, CSV, GPX and KML; - IGC files created by SkyLoggerXXL are OLC conform and can directly be sent to Leonardo, XCCup, XContest and XC globe based OLC servers; - calculation of XC points for FAI triangle, triangle and free distance over 5 points; - XC analysis (determination of FAI triangle areas); - printing of flightbooks, flight information and statistics - all diagrams, maps or charts can either be e-mailed or copied for incorporation into other apps; - integration of SkyView database for exchanging waypoints; - support of FlyNet accessories; - support of SensBox; - weather data history of selected weather stations for the last 48 hours; - online wind speed and direction visualization on maps for selected weather stations; - visualization of hotspots; - visualization of regions with thermals; - visualization of climb rate traces; - and much much more! Warning: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Rogallo BlackBox is the all-in-one app for paragliding pilots. It can record, analyse, manage and upload your flights to XC servers. This means that with Rogallo BlackBox, the days when you had to grab your vario from the flying backpack, connect it to your computer via USB, download your flight with a special software just to get an IGC file that you had to upload to an XC server in order to analyse your flying, are finally over. Rogallo BlackBox replaces all these steps and you never have to worry about USB cables anymore. We promise! Here is what Rogallo BlackBox can do for you: Record flights: The app is designed to be the perfect flight documentation tool. It will record your flights as signed IGC files that can be uploaded to all major XC contest like DHV-XC and XContest from within the app. Also the app is capable of providing useful in-flight information either visually or via audio. Logbook: One of the main goals when developing Rogallo BlackBox was to create an easy to use flight logbook where all your flights are stored in one place. In the logbook section you can search for flights or filter your flight list. So, for example you can analyse how many flights you have done from a particular takeoff and how many XC points you have scored from there. Detailed flight analysis: It goes without saying that Rogallo BlackBox calculates XC score and many other values that will help you understand a particular flight. But on top of that, it is possible to compare multiple flights visually on a map. This will help you to find ways where you can improve your flying in the future. Import: Rogallo BlackBox is capable of automatically importing all your flights from DHV-XC. And of course it can also import IGC and GPX files. Statistics: Gaining information about how you have progressed during your flying career has never been so easy. Rogallo BlackBox will present you a variety of statistical information in a very compelling and intuitive way. That way you can understand your progression as a pilot. Manage your flying equipment: The app keeps track of the airtime that you have flown with every one of your gliders. Also it will let you filter the statistics per glider, so you can get a more detailed understanding of the performance differences of your wings. Finally Rogallo BlackBox will help you remember when the next check is due for every one of your gliders. Synchronisation: Rogallo BlackBox can sync all of your flights to Rogallo FlightLog on your Mac via iCloud. This means that when you open Rogallo FlightLog on your Mac, your latest flights are already there without you ever having to touch an USB cable anymore.
