XC-Guide and Sskylines.aero provides fantastic support for groups of pilots and support drivers. Is there a support forum to ask questions? Peter Evans
This is a fantastically complete app that does everything you can imagine and more. The ability of XC guide to connect with a large number of external devices and sensors is amazing. For example, you can connect it to an inexpensive home-built FANET+ antenna to see and be seen by other local pilots using FLARM or FANET, and see and be seen by additional pilots/aircrafts from a wide range of tracking networks through your internet. This is just one of the many amazing features.
I can't connect to the SkyDrop, despite it should be set to be recognized as a BlueFly device..
Excellent app:::::)))))
Well great for Paragliding and Paramotoring and the OGN tie in makes this a great system to fly with your friends.
Absolutely brilliant, feature rich app with live tracking, airspaces and hotspots. Breathed new live into an old android phone which is now velcroed to my flight deck alongside my flymaster navsd and garmin inreach. Obviously built by a talented developer who loves to fly!
