Hello,
I am glider pilot and looking for a good navigation software running
on Ipad.
What would you propose?
Many thanks,

My Ipad has been rock solid reliable.
I've gotten Glide Path, Final Glide, and Track Log from the app
store, hope to get some experience with them as the season starts I
also use WxRadar.
My Garmin 396 in the Super Cub doesn't have a private airport
database, the Ipad came in handy last month when looking for an
private airport that I hadn't been to in a while. I used skycharts
pro, it was much easier than digging for and folding a paper sectional
from the seatback pocket, it also has airport facility directory
information.
There's an interesting soaring program on the German app store if you
can read the language.
There are a lot of cool non soaring apps for the ipad. The Android
tablet doesn't have a lot of software available to use when not
soaring.
The Ipad has replaced my laptop at work.
