Just from my NMEA trace, but its quite nice the way it animates it, and you can follow it with your mouse, zoom in, etc.

I like that, makes you wonder what the interesting things were that you circled over !

Did I read on the other forum that it was your longest flight to date ? not bad going, also had my longest on Saturday too but I was not as brave with the thermals .

[powerlord]

yeh longest to date.

Switch on satellite and zoom in and you'll see - there was a nice quarry I did a 360 over for example.

Hi Stu

That's really neat.

Sorry to be a bit dumb, but can you explain how you did this. ie which gps are you using? How d'you get it from gps to pc etc

Cheers

Thanks for pointing us to that great website. I have downloaded the app onto my iPhone and I used it this evening to record my flight:

I recommend it. The way that you can bring up the flight data by clicking the little mountain sign at the bottom right of the map is awesome. Easier to use than any other GPS logging that I have used so far. I have also found a good way of securing the iPhone to the flight deck. I stuck velcro to the back of my Otterbox case and then drilled some holes through the back so that I can tie it on just in case.

It was a fun hour in the air with my shiny new Paramotor after a few weeks away from home and flying.
