theVariometer
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
The App emulates an paraglider/hang glider variometer using your iPhone.
You can use it to measure
- climb/decline rate
- absolute altitude
- hight over ground
- relative height
- speed over ground and
- course
Show the values in metric units or in feet!
It signals your climb/decline rate using „beep“ tones just like a real variometer!
You can watch your flight using the integrated map view in real time, so you will never loose your orientation. Even if your are flying accidentally within a cloud or under poor visibility conditions!
By typing to „Alt 3“ usually after the adjusting phase or any time later you can reset „Alt 3“ to „0“.
Moreover you can use the App to
- track you flights - even in background!
- re-view your flights in the integrated map view
- send your recorded flights by mail as kml-files to your friends
- use the fantastic auto tracking feature
The App will be extended in the future.
One hint more for beginners:
Please make sure that you have a valid GPS signal, if you use the App.
The App doesn't work within buildings or any other locations where you can't get a valid (good) GPS signal.
While the App is recording a flight, the GPS location service is used, even if the App is running in background mode.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
If the App isn't recording a flight, the GPS location service isn't used if the App is running in background.
