VeloGPS vs PilotFlight Watch

VeloGPS turns your iPhone into a full handheld GPS. Precise coordinates, barometric altitude, compass, waypoints, track recording, and GPX export — everything a dedicated GPS unit does, on the device you already carry. Built for hiking, cycling, kayaking, sailing, skiing, backcountry travel, geocaching, and anything else you'd reach for a handheld for. Live GPS Dashboard A frost-glass overlay on the map shows coordinates, speed, and direction by default — tap the chevron to expand for altitude and pressure. The Info tab gives you the full readout: coordinates, speed, altitude, course, compass heading, and barometric pressure on one screen. Coordinates display in DD, DMS, or UTM. Track Recording & GPX Export Record your route with a single tap. Tracks auto-pause when you stop and resume the moment you move again, so distance and elevation gain reflect what you actually did. Each track is auto-classified as cycling, hiking, running, walking, driving, or flying based on motion sensors during recording. Saved tracks appear as colored polylines on the map and export as standard GPX files — complete with metadata block and activity type — for any mapping tool. Rename, recolor, re-tag activity, toggle visibility, swipe to delete with undo. Smooth, Accurate Altitude A fused altimeter combines the iPhone's barometer with GPS for steady, responsive elevation — with an outlier filter that rejects physically impossible pressure spikes from tunnels, doors, and cabin-pressure changes. EMA smoothing keeps recorded altitude clean. On iPads and devices without a barometer, GPS-only smoothing keeps the reading stable. Waypoints Save your current location with one tap. Tap a pin on the map to jump to details. Distance to each waypoint updates as you move. Mark trailheads, campsites, caches, hazards, summits — anywhere you want to find again. Interactive Map Standard, Hybrid, and Satellite views. A live accuracy circle shows your GPS precision. Tracking mode centers the map on you; pan or pinch to release it instantly. Long recorded tracks render smoothly at every zoom level. Haptic feedback confirms every interaction. Flight Mode A dedicated mode for aviation: GPS altitude (cabin pressure would corrupt the barometric altimeter), pre-flight checklist, and tuned filters. Live Activity & Lock Screen Keep speed, coordinates, altitude, distance, and your activity glyph on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — even when the app is in the background. Charts & Session Stats Real-time charts for speed, altitude, and pressure with windows from 1 minute to 1 hour. Session stats show distance, elevation gain/loss, max speed, average moving speed, and current grade — now on a true rolling window so the last hour is always the last hour. Power Saver Extend battery on long outings. Lowers GPS update frequency, pauses the magnetometer, and auto-suspends GPS when you're stationary. GPS Signal Quality A color-coded toolbar indicator shows your fix quality at a glance. Tap for detailed horizontal, vertical, speed, and course accuracy — plus a Processing section showing the current altitude source (fused, GPS-only, or flight mode) and live motion activity. Flexible Units Coordinates in DD, DMS, or UTM. Speed in mph, km/h, or knots. Distance in imperial or metric. Pressure in kPa, hPa/mbar, inHg, or mmHg. iPhone & iPad Tabbed navigation on iPhone, sidebar on iPad. Adapts to split-screen and slide-over. Portrait and landscape. Private by Design No accounts, no analytics, no servers. All data stays on your device.

PilotFlight puts a PFD-style Flight Deck and MFD-style Live Map on Apple Watch. These PFD and MFD views are supplemental, not certified or primary flight instruments. The native companion handles subscription purchase, restore and management on iPhone and iPad; paired-Watch status and setup remain on iPhone, and aviation views remain on Apple Watch. PFD-STYLE FLIGHT DECK AND MFD-STYLE LIVE MAP • Use the MFD-style Live Map to see position, active route, nearby airports and breadcrumb track. • Use the PFD-style Flight Deck to follow Direct-To or multi-leg plans with HSI/CDI guidance, bearing, distance, ETE and cross-track deviation. KEEP SAVED ROUTES VISIBLE OFFLINE • Save active-route coverage or an area around your current position on Apple Watch. • Choose automatic fallback when the connection is lost, or keep the local map on manually. • A worldwide overview is included. Download or delete three verified worldwide packages independently: Terrain HD (31,379,456 B; Natural Earth · Public domain), Visual HD (625,291,264 B; NASA Earth Observatory · Blue Marble: Next Generation · Contains modified NASA imagery; May 2004, not live), and Atlas Pro (3,732,973,284 B; © OpenStreetMap contributors · Protomaps 20260814; ODbL). • PilotFlight keeps an 8 GiB offline-map quota and 512 MiB free-space reserve. The maps are supplemental—not live data, aviation charts or terrain-avoidance data. Weather and hazards still require a connection. CHECK LIVE AVIATION WEATHER • Request METAR and TAF for a selected ICAO station from AviationWeather.gov. PLAN AND CALCULATE ON APPLE WATCH • Build and edit multi-leg routes and Direct-To guidance. OPTIONAL OXYGEN AWARENESS, SET BY YOU The optional low-blood-oxygen cue is off by default, starts at 94% and supports 80–99%. While the app is active, eligible device-recorded Health readings up to 5 minutes old may trigger cues at most once a minute; each reading can be silenced. It does not measure cabin pressure, start or continuously monitor a measurement, prevent hypoxia, diagnose a condition, provide emergency service or determine fitness to fly. TRY 3 DAYS FREE ON IPHONE OR IPAD PilotFlight is free to download, but every Watch feature requires an active auto-renewable subscription. Eligible new or returning subscribers who have not used an introductory offer in the PilotFlight Watch Pro group can start Monthly or Annual with a 3-day free trial. The subscription starts immediately, with no charge during the trial. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the selected plan renews automatically at the localized price and billing period shown by the App Store. One introductory offer is available per subscription group. Purchase, Restore Purchases and subscription management are available in the native companion on iPhone and iPad. Apple Watch is entitlement-only and stays locked without a verified Apple-signed StoreKit entitlement. The trial unlocks the same complete Watch experience as a paid period; there is no separate guest or demo tier. Manage or cancel in Apple Account settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Plans and Apple Health data stay on device. AviationWeather.gov receives a selected ICAO code or nearest-airport area. Each optional map uses a fixed AkıncıJet file request. It sends no route, coordinates or disk-capacity value. Temporary delivery/security logs retain IP address, timestamp, requested path, HTTP status and user-agent in daily archives; they are not used for ads or tracking. PilotFlight is a supplemental planning and situational-awareness aid. It is not a certified navigation or primary flight instrument, aviation chart, approved weather/NOTAM source, medical monitor or guaranteed background-alert service. Always verify information with approved aircraft documents, current official sources and pilot judgment. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
