Welcome to PPGpS, a Flight Computer for Paramotor, Paraglider, Glider and Ultra Light plane Pilots
*NEW: Airspaces display
-PPGpS can now display an Airspace overlay on the map.
It is using OpenAir files that can be downloaded from the net and copied in the PPGpSairspaces folder.

and then export them to the PPGpS airspace folder.

*MAPS:
Online:
PPGpS can display Google or OpenStreetMap maps in connected mode.
Offline:
Download map files in your smartphone in case you don't have an internet connection during the flight.
Use the integrated PPGpS Offline Map Creator to generate offline maps.
*INSTRUMENTS:
PPGpS provides the altitude, vario, bearing, magnetic compass, acceleration and ground speed.
With just one click on instruments you switch easily between different data modes : instantaneous, average and maximum values.
Altimeter can be set to actual altitude or elevation (QHN, QFE) just by long-pressing on the altimeter.
If your smartphone has a barometric sensor, it could be used to compute a very accurate altitude.
You can use PPGpS Wear companion application to display your instruments on your SmartWatch.
*WAYPOINTS:
Create waypoints by tapping on the map or by entering their GPS coordinates.
Select a waypoint with one click on the waypoint instrument (WPT).
Rename or remove a waypoint from the contextual menu of the waypoint list.
Follow the displayed route (bearing, estimated travel time and distance).
Prepare your waypoints from Google Earth and import your KML files (PPGpS folder in the phone).
Waypoints may be automatically loaded at startup and saved at the end of the session.
In case your KML file doesn't import well, please send me the file and I will fix it quickly.
*WIND AND SPEEDS HUD:
The average ground speeds are graphically displayed for every azimuth.
The wind direction is displayed (red arrow) and may be reset at any time during the flight.
*RETURN HOME:
Home direction and Estimated Travel Time to return home is always displayed (shaded red line).
Computations are done according to the wind for accurate results.
*LIVE TRACKING:
Enable the Live Tracking feature to allow your friends and family to see you live on map ! Go to www.ppgps.info for more details.
*AIRSPACE:
Copy OpenAir files in the /ppgps/airspace folder to display airspaces on top of the map
Use my other app AirspaceMap to help you download and customize your openAir files

Love the app, but it's showing my altitude about 80' lower than other apps. This shows me flying underground in Google Earth.

Unfortunately, granting this app with one star due to the author failing to respond to questions/bugs for the past 3-4 months and no additional releases of the app for a long time. Very disappointing, don't bother buying this app as it seems to hang 30 minutes into each flight and you lose all of your previous tracking.

I can not fault this app, especially since the release of v1.25. The developer is on the ball. I use this app to record KML and IGC files, as well as to live report my position incase of forced landing, when I may be in need of help. My rescuers will know where to find me. I also really like the way the recording and tracking starts automatically when a preset speed is exceeded. There are many user set options. I fly a microlight, and ride a road bike - so tracking me is keeping me safe.

Magic bit of kit, does eveything I need it to do. I use gpx file option to overlay recorded data onto video in dashware, great!

Great app I've been using this a while now. easy to use and gives me plenty of information. The only thing that this lacks is Airmaps then it would be 5 star in my opinion

This app gives me airspeed, alt, waypoints, etc, but my favourite features are ground speed history and fuel gauge. The fuel gauge is really handy to supplement manually checking with a mirror. He ground speed history is excellent as it shows you exactly what the wind has been doing since you have been flying. If I could make 1 request, it would be to allow us to transmit our own position automatically and display the positions of others that are using the app. Also VOIP would be a really cool addition.

Hey guys! This is the best app for PPG. I tried everything out there and you really did a great job! I love the new updates. Keep up the great work! Hopefully you can secure a deal with google maps in the future.

The offline maps from mobac do not work and map creator that come with the app is very limited. Only low quality map sources. And they don't answer emails or anything. So avoid frustration for yourself.

Hands-down the best ppg app on the market. Developer is busy and active with fixes/updates/advances as required. App gives plenty of accurate info and has a good, clear, easy to read display. Don't waste your time trying other apps like I did. (3 year ppg pilot)

Surprisingly accurate, sufficiently fast and gives all the data one shuld want during ppg xc flights. The replay feature is also very nice although it would be nice to have a fast forward option or the ability to jump to specific time point.

For settings menu, continuously tap near the top of the screen by the notification bar. Menu should eventually pop down. Try it when the screen is rotated sideways. A little glitchy. Great app, got stuck in 100% ifr conditions, full dense fog in mountain area that I thought I could climb out of, couldn't safely land. Climbed to 2000 and trusted this app to get me back. 15 minutes of complete blindness and boom, I was back. It even kept me up to date distance and estimated time back to my launch spot. Thanks

It isn't often that an application impresses me THIS much! It works beautifully and saved me a few hundred dollars. I had been considering a standalone GPS unit, but this app provides everything I wanted. The reported altitude seems off by about 50 – 100 feet, but that's a limitation of the phone's hardware rather than the app. And for my purposes, it's close enough. Really, for $2.50, rather than a hundred times that much for a dedicated GPS, I couldn't be happier!

Altitude is showing me 35-40 ft below sea level in florida. That is annoying. Contacted them trough Facebook and no reply. Not so thrilled with that.
