App features
Paragliding Map for Android has some cool features that are not even available on the website yet.
|
GPS navigation*
Once you find a site you want to fly, you can use Google GPS navigation to drive to the takeoff.
|
|
My location
Show your location on the map as a blue icon in real time. This feature is useful if you are walking a forest
trail to a takeoff and need to ensure you are walking in the correct direction!
|
|
Free-text search
The app search feature is much more powerful than the one on this website, because you can search by:
- Exact site name.
- Partial site name. Eg: "inter" will find "Interlaken", but also "Mürren" because it is close to Interlaken.
- Region. Eg: "alsace" will return all sites in the Alsace region of France.
- Special characters are ignored. Eg: "murren" will find Mürren.

|
Site details
The usual site details are displayed, such as acceptable wind direction, current wind direction, gust strength,
cloud condition, etc.
|
|
3-day "flyability forecast"
The 3-day flyability forecast is displayed as "happy" and "sad" icons as on the website.
|
|
Webcams*
Where available, up to 3 webcams are displayed for each site. This is especially useful to check actual conditions
match the reported conditions. Often you can even check if other pilots are already in the air!

* Features marked with asterisks are available in the PRO version.
