SeeYou Recoder - an Android app for glider pilots
Folks: Naviter's first Android app is published in the Google Play store. With a similar iOS app to follow immediately after Apple approves it.
It's an IGC flight file recorder and its name is SeeYou Recorder. It's free. And it's actually an IGC flight recorder on steroids. http://www.naviter.si/content/view/160/1/lang,en/ Enjoy! Andrej Kolar -- glider pilots use http://www.Naviter.com/ |

SeeYou Recoder - an Android app for glider pilots
I'm looking forward to the release of the iOS version for my iPhone. Please continue to develope a full version of SeeYou or as near as possible for iOS. The displays are great in the sun and most people already own one.

Check out GlidePath:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/glide...383714417?mt=8 It will record your flight and submit to OLC directly from your phone.

SeeYou Recoder - an Android app for glider pilots
I already use Glidepath. It works great as a recorder and for uploading to OLC. I'm looking for a full function Glide computer or as full of functions as possible for the iPhone. I use Glider GPS for the iPhone currently but it doesnt even compare to SeeYou. I'd love to support a company that provides great products already.

SeeYou Recoder - an Android app for glider pilots
Many of us have tried glide path here in Oregon, and it is not good at all. It stops in the middle of most recordings, and we can't figure out why it stopped most of the time. And when it stops, none of the flight is saved. I'm really hoping this new app is dependable. I have an Oudie and I like it, but I wish it would color the trace like SeeYou does on the PC. Will this app be able to color the track for vertical speed, or other choices? Now if we could just see the Iphone screen in daylight you might have something?

We have logged hundreds of hours of tracks during testing (mostly driving, but lots of flying too) and there was never a reliability issue. Even if your phone fails everything is stored and available for sharing after the phone recovers. No problem there. We already know how to handle these things from SeeYou Mobile and Oudie. Will this app be able to color the track for vertical speed, or other choices? No. Not SeeYou Recorder. It is and it will remain just a friendly free recorder.

Same experience than Waveguru, Glide Path is not reliable. Look forward to see the Naviter apps.

SeeYou Recoder - an Android app for glider pilots
I was speaking to a fellow glider pilot on Saturday about GlidePath.
He reported that it fails "above 3,000 feet". I found a couple of sites that talk about the issue. http://ipadpilotnews.com/2012/01/top-12-ipad-tips/ http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/archive/t-1027596.html http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/12/unhap...nd-each-other/ Other comments; 1) Iphone uses "assisted" GPS that uses cell towers to get a quick fix while the regular GPS is busy finding satellites. Then after regular GPS has its satellites you will get more accurate results. Ultimately, GPS should work fine without cellular, you just have to wait longer. 2) That GPS is turned off when in airplane mode. I assume that you had your phone not in airplane mode and that it worked fine initially, and then failed after getting higher than the cellular signal. If you waited long enough, wouldn't the GPS take over? Maybe it is the cellular service going in/out of range that is causing the iPhone to bounce back/forth between cellular tiangulation and 3) Cell towers have their antennas pointed slightly downward to provide optimum terrestrial coverage - so cellular coverage in the air is always dicey. I always wondered how the 9-1-1 passengers were able to make their last desperate calls while in the air. 4) Sportys says "But the on-board iPad GPS was made for ground use, and it’s not very reliable in the air. It has a tendency to drop offline, especially when switching between apps. For this reason, most iPad pilots—even those with a 3G iPad—opt for an external GPS. They are extremely accurate (WAAS-enabled) and very reliable." Sportys has both plug in and bluetooth add on GPS receivers for $100. 5) http://www.aviationconsumer.com/ has more comments but you have to subscribe for $36/year. |
