One of the best for paragliding, maybe the best!
where2fly - the iPhone app for all paragliding and hanggliding pilots.
This app
includes detailed information on 10,000 launch sites and 4,000
landings in 100 countries worldwide. All places are visually
displayed on an interactive map. They can also be searched
specifically according to different criteria. For example: where is a
spot in the Alps to fly with wind conditions coming from north, and a
minimal height of 2000m, which is accessible by a cable car?
Also contained in
where2fly are more than 25,000 stations of public transport in
Switzerland, so you can easily travel to the launch site, or the trip
home from your landing site. Timetable information can be consulted
for many european countries through an app-integration, as well as
route navigation with the navigational apps TomTom, Navigon
and Waze .
The app contains
flight data from paraglidingearth.com, DHV.de and Flyland.ch .
All data is stored in a local database. You only need an internet
connection to display the map and webcam images.
Features
The Webcam module gives you access to more than 20,000
worldwide webcams from webcams.travel and camscollection.ch. So, you
can easily get an idea of the weather conditions near your launch
site or landing.
The Flight logbook lets you register all your flights
directly within where2fly. Choose from one of the existing launch
sites and landing places, or select one of the places or your own
spot directly on the map. You can define innumerable attributes, such
as flight duration, flight type, wind conditions, weather, your
impressions of the flight, and a comment. All flights are stored in
the local database, so you can easily access statistics. Data can be
exported via an Excel interface. And all that for a price that is
less than the papery logbook.
Integration of weather
stations all over the word. Data is provided by the MADIS/NOOA
network.
A SOS-Module is integrated. So you can quickly find
your GPS position, send it to other persons by SMS or email, which
then can depict the place in where2fly or any web browser. Of course,
you can also send your landing position to friends.
Another new feature
are thermal hotspots. Data is available for Europe.
