Paraglider Dashboard
Paraglider Dashboard calculates wind speed and wind direction while in the air.Display of wind triangle, tachometer, map with airspaces, variometer and more.All important flight data is constantly shown in the info boxes.
Slide through the following Views:
* Windtriangle
* Tachometer
* Map with airspaces and track
* Speed vectors (basis of wind calculation)
* Overview with all views
Always visible:
* Infoboxes with all important flight data
* GPS based Variometer (optional)
Other features:
* Show past flights in a logbook
* Calculate wind triangle for different wind situations
* Set destination in map by simple long touch or select from a waypoint list
* Display of arrival time at destination taking current wind into account.
* Load airspaces in OpenAir format
* Save track as (unsigned) IGC-file
* Build-in help pages
* Simulation mode to replay IGC-files
* Metric and imperial units
* Altitude display in meter, feet or both alternating
Glove control:
With glove control switched on, you can control the app without using the touch screen (e.g. while wearing gloves).A menu which is controlled by the proximity sensor allows this trick. Just hovering the hand over the device lets the menu pop up and scroll through the available functions.When releasing the hand again, the currently highlighted function is executed.
Why are the permissions needed:
* GPS Location: Now, that's obviously needed.
* Prevent from sleeping: Device should not switch off in midair.
* Internet access: Needed exclusively for Google Maps.
* USB storage: For saving IGC-files when closing app.

Great app for me as pg beginner. I can log my flights even if the phone is in my pocket and silent. Flights can be reviewed again. Sometimes I get wrong altitude reading, might be a issue of the phones GPS I will review again later in full use.
Great app. Great developer. Sent an email asking a question and received a response quickly with excellent instructions on how to accomplish what I asked. So much information is obtained with this app and at your fingertips while flying. The logs are great snd very useful when reviewing your flight. Thank you.
Exceptional but I wish it was more user friendly to load airspace maps and keep them updated. Really 4.5 stars.
Amazing tool as a beginner pilot. Airspeed calculation seems a bit off (clocked 114mph on my student wing & 308mph on a high B). That said, full featured little tool that's amazing for understanding your flights.
Has plenty of quirks, the UI is finicky and could use some polish but I'll give it 5 stars because of how incredibly useful it is, not to mention free.
This is a great app especially considering it's free. I would like to be able to zero the altitude to my launch site but other than that, it's great. I'll give it 5 stars once that happens
I enjoy the look and feel of this App and have practiced on the ground in my car to get the feel of the functionality of the App. I have ordered my Paramotor and after training, I plan to fly with this App.
Hello Edgar, ...really a well done app. Thank you! I have used it for years. String functionality and big visibility. The best. Kg
Great app. Really useful. Had trouble getting it to auto start at 10kph. Now I just manually start before launch. Any ideas?
Must have app for paraglider or power paragliger. Great programming work.
Exceptional free app. Developer is a legend. Thank you for your time creating this masterpiece.
Love this app. Simple & easy to use, even with gloves on :)
Makes each flight so much richer and allows me to relive each stage later. Thanks bud.
Excellent app. Use it for paramotoring on Android. Had one question which developer replied to very promptly.
Super app, easy to use, great features and options.
Hard to find all of what you get with this app in a great pkg like this. Im new to PPC and this little gem of a app is exactly what i needed. Good work
Excellent work by app developer 1) Easy interface 2) wonderful post flight simulation 3) no ads
Great app, easy to use and good features. Thanks
Easy to use, very accurate
Thank you for your time developing this app. It's really amazing and very useful.
Thank you for sharing the functionality of this amazing app!
Very good. Easy to read when flying my PPG.
Great app. If find it does everything I need
Just started using the app for my flights. It's been awesome!
Phenomenally complete & flexible, deserves six stars!
love this one for me the easiest to use with great reasults
This app works great for ppg flights.
Great app that helps to review the flight at home with an IGC viewer. Questions : 1/ When we play a simulation of a flight, is the simulated variometer calculated by GPS or barometric ? I use the barometric sensor only for variometer during a flight (no GPS sensor). It beeps well (up and down), but when I replay the simulation, I can't hear or even see the variometer moving so much. 2/ When I replay a simulation, and the data calculated by the app gives a drop of - 6meters / sec, the variometer does not move of beep. I can share the IGC file if needed 3/ Is there a reason why you don't use the accelerometer from the phone to be even more precise for the variometer ? Thanks !
