In addition to messaging the app also provides the ability to set the driver/pilot in command, enter a flight destination, calculate weight and balance/manifests and complete flight checklists. All these details are automatically transmitted by the connected v2track tracker to the v2track tracking website. v2Connect requires a Bluetooth or WiFi connection between your iOS device and v2track tracking hardware for operation and is not a standalone product. Newly added in September 2023 is the ability to connect via Bluetooth to GroundControl/Rock7 RockAIR, RockSTAR & RockFLEET tracking hardware.
