DroneMeld Simple airspace checking for drones. No overloaded aviation maps, unnecessary layers, or technical clutter. DroneMeld is built for everyday drone pilots who need one simple answer: * Flight prohibited * Flight possible with restrictions * Airspace open Main Idea Most drone applications are overloaded with: * dozens of aviation layers, * complex markings, * professional terminology, * weather data, * wind information, * NOTAM codes, * aviation details that are confusing for regular users. DroneMeld solves only one problem: Airspace checking. Without the overload. What DroneMeld Does Checks: * no-fly zones, * CTR areas, * military zones, * restricted areas, * temporary restrictions, * coordinate-based airspace limitations. What DroneMeld Does NOT Do DroneMeld is NOT: * a flight planner, * a weather application, * a navigation system, * a drone control system, * a professional aviation GIS platform. Why DroneMeld Is Different Minimalism Instead of dozens of layers, users only see: Red zones Complete flight prohibition. Yellow zones Flight allowed with restrictions. Everything else Airspace is open. No “Card Clutter” DroneMeld does NOT display: * complicated aviation codes, * overloaded legends, * professional GIS layers, * unnecessary data. Only what matters to the pilot. How It Works 1. The user opens the map. 2. Selects a location. 3. DroneMeld checks the airspace. 4. The user receives a clear status. Official Data Sources DroneMeld uses: * official aviation data, * government sources, * up-to-date airspace restrictions, * NOTAMs and published zones. Important DroneMeld displays airspace status information. The application does NOT verify: * takeoff permission, * landing permission, * private property access, * local on-site restrictions. Responsibility for complying with local regulations remains with the drone operator. Who DroneMeld Is For * DJI / Autel / FPV drone owners, * A1/A3 pilots, * beginner pilots, * travelers, * photo and video creators, * users who need a fast and understandable answer. Key Advantages Simplicity No aviation overload. Speed Checks completed in seconds. Clarity Only important restrictions. Clean Interface No dozens of unnecessary layers. Focused on the Real Task Understanding one thing: Can you fly or not? DroneMeld Philosophy DroneMeld does not try to replace professional aviation systems. DroneMeld is designed as: a simple and clear airspace checking tool for everyday drone pilots. But the core of DroneMeld will always remain simple: minimum noise — maximum clarity.

Read full description

Classic Tripmaster is a digital GPS tripmaster for classic car drives and touring, making it easy to track total and partial distance. The app offers: • clear meters for total and trip distance • choose 1, 2 or 3 decimal places for the distance display • a separate button to reset the trip distance • manual distance corrections • current and average speed • a choice between kilometres and miles • configurable button feedback: sound and vibration, vibration only, or off • day and night mode For the first 14 days, you can use the base app and the complete Route Map free of charge. With the optional Route Map add-on, you can view your driven route on an interactive Apple map, save trips locally and give them a recognisable name. Saved routes can be shared as GPX files for use in navigation apps that support GPX, such as OsmAnd. Sharing happens only when you choose it through the iOS share sheet. After the trial, the base app and Route Map are two separate one-time purchases. To use Route Map, the base app must also be unlocked.
