GPS Receiver is a lightweight GPS flight tracking tool for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and users who need a clear view of real-time GPS data. View your current speed, altitude, heading, coordinates, GPS accuracy, and recorded flight path in a focused dashboard. Record flights in the background, save offline reference map areas, review past routes, and replay your track with a cockpit-style view after landing. Offline maps are designed for basic reference use. They use low-zoom Natural Earth data and may be overzoomed when enlarged, so they are not high-detail aviation charts or official navigation data. Key features: Real-time GPS speed, altitude, heading, and coordinates Flight recording with track history Background location recording while tracking GPS quality and accuracy alerts Offline reference map areas Flight records and route review Cockpit-style replay view English interface support Natural Earth attribution for offline map data GPS Receiver is intended as a supplemental situational awareness and flight logging tool. It should not be used as the sole source of navigation, terrain avoidance, weather decisions, or flight safety information. Always use approved aviation instruments, charts, and procedures.
