Scenic Map vs Paragliding Navigation

A 3D topo map with coverage of the entire world. The map is streamed directly from Apple's servers and cached on your device for use when there is no cell coverage. Use Scenic Map in a car, a boat, a plane or while hiking. It is like having the entire Earth in your pocket. Satellite image overlays add breathtaking detail and realism to the maps (tap preset 2 or 4). 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. To get started, tap the arrow button in the toolbar to begin GPS tracking and center the map at your current location. The spinner in the status bar shows that the map is being loaded. The spinner stops when the map is fully cached at that location. You can scroll around the map or tilt the map with a two finger vertical swipe to see it in 3D. Use the two finger vertical swipe gesture to tilt the map for a 3D view. Scroll like a map or fly like a flight simulator. Enable Joystick Gestures in the Settings menu and then fly around the terrain using a virtual joystick. Prefer only 2D maps? Enable the 2D Map option in the Settings menu. Scenic Map is simply the best 3D topo map available for a mobile device. You will see incredible detail while scrolling, rotating and zooming perfectly smoothly. You will see every road even if you zoom out to the altitude of a satellite. As you zoom in, you will see every small bump and hollow of the Earth and terrain features as small as ten meters. Unlike old fashioned topo maps, Scenic Map’s roads and trails are up to date thanks to OpenStreetMap.org. It contains polygons for urban areas, shopping malls, an ever growing number of buildings and many other features, The best lake, pond, stream and rivers from the USGS and Canadian public databases are also included. Your tracks can be replayed with video like controls to speed up, slow down, pause, restart or skip to the end. You can display existing tracks while recording another if you want to retrace your route. When online, you can automatically create a route from your current GPS location to any other point on the map. Tracks can be received from or sent to other apps in GPX format. GPS recording stops automatically after you have remained stationary for some time or you can choose to manually stop tracking by tapping on the top track in the Tracks view. Never before have maps been this customizable. For example, you can turn on or off the roads. You can change the lighting direction or remove terrain shading entirely. You can display contour lines even over satellite images. There are five presets which let you quickly switch between map styles. Use Metric, English or Nautical units and choose one of four different coordinate displays including UTM. Want to learn more about a map feature? Tap the target icon and center the feature under the compass rose to display its name, type, urban area, county, 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 bar shows the bearing direction and distance along with the map and GPS elevation, the track length, and your current speed and direction of travel. In-app documentation is provided in the Help section at the top of the Settings menu. Links are provided in the documentation to detailed coverage maps, tutorial videos, installation guide and blog at ScenicMap.com Map data © OpenStreetMap and contributors under the Open Database License Scenic 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.
