I fly small planes, the kind you rent from your club on a Saturday. Flying at a club is social while you're at the airfield, then everyone goes home and their flights disappear into private logbooks and camera rolls. The photos stay somewhere in my camera roll between screenshots and receipts, and I could never really find them anymore or match them to a specific flight. Apple kind of has a feature for that with their photo map, but it didn't really fit what I wanted. I also wanted an easy way to send live updates to friends and family so they know where I am without me having to text them. So a friend and I started building Skytrails on evenings and weekends. With Skytrails, you can connect with other pilots, share your flights, and import old trips and photos to keep track of everything in one place. You can also create clubs with your friends and plan fly-outs where other pilots can join you. What it does right now: Fly together & plan trips: Connect with pilot friends, create club feeds, and organize fly-outs that others can join. Live updates for friends & family: Friends who opt in show up live on a 3D map, and on iPhone their flight sits on your lock screen until they land. Family without the app just get a web follow link. Import & automatic photo matching: Import what you already have (ForeFlight CSV, Vereinsflieger, GPX/KML tracks) or record live. It automatically finds the photos you took during each flight by timestamp and tags the landmarks, castles, and lakes you flew past. During the implementation we faced a lot of challenges regarding the GPS tracking, phones going into sleep mode, GPS coordinates for images being not that accurate. But now we released or first version. I would be glad if you could check it out and give some feedback on it :) I generated a quick video about the app with brag I hope this fits in this subreddit. https://reddit.com/link/1xwtsx1/video/z90s5i9lnr1i1/player   submitted by   /u/Wonderful_Flight_965 [link]   [comments]
