A powerful GPS speedometer, mileage tracker, and trip-cost monitor with dash-cam and action-cam video. See your speed at a glance, receive clear speed-limit alerts, record detailed routes, and understand the real cost of each trip. Features: ■ Speed Limits & Alerts Set speed limits with 4 or 8 one-tap presets. Large digits change from green to red and a sound alerts you when you exceed the selected limit. The app can remember where limits were used and reapply them automatically. ■ Cost, Fuel & EV Monitor See driving costs in real time for combustion and electric vehicles. For fuel, enter price and efficiency (US/UK MPG or L/100 km). For an EV, enter electricity price per kWh, usable battery capacity, full-charge driving range, and charging efficiency—the app accounts for charging losses. Add optional charges per mile or kilometer, split costs between passengers, and monitor estimated remaining range with configurable alerts. ■ GPS Tracking Record detailed mileage and routes, review speed, altitude, and statistics, or add a previous track back to the map to retrace it. Import and export GPX, KML, and KMZ files. ■ GPS Dash Cam & Action Cam Video Record the road or the action with synchronized speed, location, heading, and map data. Choose engaging overlays such as speed, map, Pitch & Roll, and G-Cross for live view, replay, or stamped exports. Keep a clean original, export a full video or selected range, and turn an exact replay frame into a georeferenced photo and waypoint. Loop recording can retain the latest part of a drive without filling storage with one endless recording. Because of iOS privacy restrictions, video can be recorded only while the camera recording screen is visible. Recording stops if you leave that screen or the app moves to the background. The app does not provide parking surveillance or automatic vehicle-power startup. ■ Mileage Calculator & PDF Reports Calculate distance, fuel costs, and mileage between addresses. Fill gaps in a mileage log, categorize trips, and create customizable professional reports for reimbursement or tax records. ■ Maps Choose Apple, Google, blank, or offline road, satellite, and topographic maps. Import MBTiles or SQLiteDB maps, download maps in the app, and create or share KMZ ground overlays. ■ Driving and Navigation Modes Use a full-screen speed display, mirrored HUD, rally computer, G-Force monitor, taximeter, map, water-sports mode, idle timer, paragliding instruments, or directional navigation for land, air, and marine use. ■ Waypoints & Camera Alerts Create waypoints with optional photos or audio notes. Receive approach alerts, apply speed limits, and import or export CSV, GPX, KML, and KMZ data. Import red-light and speed-camera data or use the built-in library. ■ Voice Coach & Siri Shortcuts Hear distance, duration, speed, and altitude at chosen intervals. Start or stop GPS tracking and set speed limits with Siri. ■ Barometric Instruments View real-time vertical speed and altitude with QFE/QNH support on compatible devices. ■ Background Mileage Tracking The speedometer and GPS track recorder can run in the background when enabled. Optional auto-recording logs driving without manual start or stop, ideal for tax or reimbursement mileage. It includes 50 free auto-tracks per month, with an upgrade available for unlimited use. ■ Speed & Distance Displays 0–999 in MPH, km/h, or knots, plus maximum and average speed, distance, altitude, and sunrise/sunset times. ■ Privacy & Compatibility Location data is used for speed monitoring and trip recording within the app and is not shared with third parties. Requires an iPhone or cellular iPad with GPS; Wi-Fi-only iPads and iPods need an external GPS source. Continued GPS use can reduce battery life.

About

WB PAL

Features
Read full description

WB PAL is a simple weight and balance pilot preflight tool that provides easy input screens for the pilot’s entry of unique aircraft data and specific flight weights. Pilots can create an aircraft from existing generic aircraft templates to match his/her own aircraft. The aircraft registration is added and saved to provide easy selection of all created aircraft. Note: This is a support tool to assist the pilot to visualize the aircraft loading. It is not to be used for actual weight and balance validation. Validation is the pilot's responsibility prior to takeoff using approved methods. Each aircraft can be customized to meet the unique configuration requirements for individual aircraft. Features can be added or deleted to suit these needs. Simple weight changes can be made to deal with floatplane, amphibian or ski plane configurations. Cargo areas are available to permit the use of belly pods or float compartments if you have these extra requirements. A generic display method has been used to accommodate aircraft up to 6 passengers and pilot customizing can remove seats or create tandem seating to suit your needs. When all the arm details have been configured, the pilot simply needs to ensure that all the weights are correct for the flight of interest. These can also be saved to permit simple adjustments for the next flight. When all weight data has been added the pilot may show the results graphically to see where the C of G (centre of gravity) for takeoff and landing would be for that flight configuration and duration. Both points should be within the C of G envelope for the specific aircraft. This envelope is fully editable by the pilot based on Pilot Operating Handbook data for the specific aircraft of interest. These values are preset in the aircraft templates for each generic aircraft type but may require some pilot adjusting for the specific aircraft. New templates will be added as user feedback is received on the www.digilog.ca website. The APP is full featured so no costly upgrades are required. There is also no annoying advertizing so have fun with it. There is also a built-in Guide available to provide instructions on how to use the various features.
