From time to time I check the iPhone app store for soaring apps. I
just came across GlidePath. The developer claims it's OLC compliant. I
havent purchased it yet, but it looks like a good backup for OLC
flying.

Interesting App. *My concern would be battery life without external
power. *I've used a few tracking and logging apps on my iPhone and
find I am limited to a couple of hours before needing a recharge.
Presumably it also won't plot a map without Internet access. *Assuming
this is available via 3G, this is currently likely a violation of
contest rules.

External power is easy. Get a cigarette lighter USB power adapter and
hack it to add connectors to your glider battery. Another 'under
$10.00' solution.

Here's a link to a flight I did last week of which I used my iPhone
glidepath logger to record the flight. You can download the .igc file
from the olc to see what you think. I have my recording intervals set
to 5 seconds, but can be changed higher or lower, even 1 second. Best
part of it all was this: when I rolled off to the side of the runway,
before I climbed out of the cockpit, my flight was already posted to
the OLC!

Not bad for only 10 bucks.' this iPhone is a great invention, useful
for so many things.


All I need is the money for an iPhone!

Really? How much is an iPhone, the app, and a suitable service
contract?

Oops.

It IS very inexpensive, if you already have a iPhone 4G.

I've been thinking of upgrading my cell phone and upgrading from an
iPAQ to a PNA or Oudie.
An iPhone is still cheaper than an Oudie plus it's a phone and does so
much more.
Check Dr Jack and X/C Skies before flight, Check Sat photos for cloud
cover etc...
This could be really a great for me if it will run SeeYou Mobile too.

The iPhone still costs what it costs! I have a cheap PDA that does the
moving map, a phone from work that's a phone, and I never take a camera
flying as I reckon I should be looking going not at a viewfinder.

Uh, guys, have you looked at an iPhone screen inflight lately? Good
luck!

It's a great device for checking SPOT pages, XCSkies, calling home,
pictures of cute line crew, music to listen to while waiting for a
retrieve, etc; and now a nice little backup logger - but it's not
going to replace a bigger, brighter display as a primary device for a
while.

That being said, for $10 I now have a nice little OLC logger for my
flights in a club ship - that's a smoking deal, for me!

It is seldom worth buying an iPhone for any one application.

If you already have one for some reason -- perhaps for making phone
calls -- then adding additional applications is inexpensive.

Multiply that by ten or twenty applications and the hardware price per
app starts to get quite low, and without having to carry ten or twenty
different items with you.

The same goes for Android, of course, or WinCE, but the iPhone/iPod
Touch/iPad seems to have hit critical mass.
