You Need A Map vs Paragliding Navigation

If you get lost or in an emergency, YOU NEED A MAP! A map that covers the entire USA, all 50 states. A map that works everywhere even without a cell phone signal. A map that shows not just roads but also terrain, streams, lakes and other landmarks. Note: If you would prefer a small app that caches online maps covering the entire world, please see the More by GrangerFX section below and try the free Scenic Map app. Get You Need A Map if you want an offline map the entire USA as a single large download. The paid apps have built in maps with full resolution terrain. Your iPhone has a great online map but all it takes is one wrong turn and you could find yourself lost with no cell phone signal. What is the fastest way back to the highway? Should you go forwards or back? Is there a better road just a short distance away? Is there a raging stream or an steep cliff between you and the road? YOU NEED A MAP! You Need A Map is a huge application. It has to be. It contains every mountain, hill, stream, lake, pond, freeway, highway, local road and track. In addition it contains many buildings, trails, railways, points of interest and polygon features. It has everything you need to find out where you are and what is around you anywhere in the USA. Most navigation apps on the iPhone and iPad must transfer all their maps from servers on the internet. This can be slow in areas with only 2G coverage or completely unavailable in wilderness areas where a map would be most useful. You Need A Map solves this problem by storing maps directly on your iPhone or iPad. This extremely fast high quality software renderer is the first of its kind for mobile devices. If you do have a cellular or WiFi internet connect, Satellite image overlays add breathtaking detail and realism to the maps (tap preset 2 or 4 when Online Map is enabled). You can use them as you travel to see what is hidden from view at ground level. This takes moving maps to a whole new level. Tap the arrow in the toolbar to enable GPS tracking. As you move, you will generate a track file which you can replay. You can also import GPX tracks generated in other programs and play them. While recording or playing a track, the map will be centered on the current location and rotated towards the direction of travel and rendered in 2D or 3D with silky smooth animation. When playing a track, you can speed up, slow down, pause, restart or skip to the end. Send your GPX tracks to other apps or email them. Want to learn more about a map feature? Click the target icon and center it under the compass rose to display its name, feature type, urban area, state, elevation and coordinates. You will also see a bearing line back to your current GPS location or from your location to a selected waypoint. The status will display the direction and distance along with the map and GPS elevation, the track length, and your current speed and direction of travel You Need A Map uses the same code as Scenic Map and has most of the same features. These include many map customization options, customizable waypoints, direction and bearing information, a smooth scrolling moving map display while driving or flying, city search and much more. You can also get the full feature set of Scenic Map with an in-app purchase including the new online maps of the entire world. Documentation, detailed coverage maps, installation guide and blog are available on ScenicMap.com You Need A Map covers the entire USA including all 50 states Map data © OpenStreetMap and contributors under the Open Database License You Need A Map supports GPS tracking while the app is in the background. Caution: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

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.

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.
