Bob Edwards Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Just about to start paramotor training (but have flown other stuff before, in the map and compass era). Looking at low-cost or free navigation apps for android. As well as the popular PPGPS, I came across 'Enroute Flight Navigator'. It's free and open-source, provides the basics only, but does give some useful features for cross country:- The off-line moving map is uncluttered - just enough features to be useful The scale is shown in nm / km Restricted airspace is shown and maintained up to date from the usual public databases The wind speed and direction, cruising speed and fuel burn/hr can be set The estimated total distance, time taken and fuel consumption is calculated for a route Current TAFs and METARs are available on-line with a decode into english Tapping on an airfield displays distance from position, radio frequencies, runways and elevation - might be useful occasionally The uncertainty of vertical and horizontal position can be displayed - answering the question how good is my gps based altimeter today? Minor criticisms - The app doesn't do flight logs, doesn't use online maps, doesn't estimate in-flight wind speed for you, doesn't show vertical speed on the main screen - but does elsewhere.
