Hi! The app is absolutely great if you learn how to use it. In the beginning it´s a rough starts since it is a complicated app to use, but once you get the hang of it you can really use it as an in-flight tool. My only problem so far is that when I export the GPX files I cannot seem to find data for my altitud. Basically It just exports my track on the x and y axis, but not on the z. If you have any solution for this it would be great. Thank you!

Hi! I have already tested the app in-flight on my Fenix 5X and it works great! Actually, it seems to be the best glider app on connectIQ, at the moment. Since I'm using the app for paragliding and I believe that it fits perfectly to paragliding as well, I'd highly appreciate if you added an option to control the Auto Activity speed limit. Right now it seems it only works for glider take off speeds, so I have to start my activity manually. For safety reasons, I think it would be better to not have "messing with my watch" in my take-off checklist. Adding an option to set a lower speed limit will fix this issue and I would be very gratefull if you do so. Thank you in advance and once again your app is great!

Hi, I acquired this app for my Garmin Fenix 6X Pro and it seems it works pretty well, though I cannot proved in the air yet. My question is, this app runs as if it was a variometer when it finds a thermal? I mean, it bepps when vario finds low pressure areas? Thanks!

This app works pretty well, I used it for 5 glider flights today. It’s solid and tracked flights I could upload with Garmin app. However, it keeps beeping which is a bit annoying and settings aren’t configurable. It would be nice if this track could be uploaded into ForeFlight—which I can’t seem to get to work. Otherwise it’s pretty good.

Hi. Safety Tones can be disabled in Settings. Also, the new (Safety) Grace Period allows to mute them temporarily. As for export/import: have a look in https://connect.garmin.com: you can export your activity to GPX (using the gear icon), which is pretty much a standard inter-exchange format (you may also want to look for https://www.gpsbabel.org, which even allows you to translate GPX to IGC format).

Hi! It's a great app, I've used it every flight to record my flight and to help me to find thermical areas. The problem is... I've changed my garmin for an 6X Pro, and it's no more compatible... It could be so kind from you if you adapt the version ready for 6X Pro, I'm ready to pay you something for the job, 'cause I really enjoy your app to flying with. Thanks for your answer Silvain

I have instaled this app on my garmin mk1 and it doesn't work. When I start this app on my watch it appears a "!" I have a suggestion, to make this app (variometer) work on paragliding, for example to contain speed of ascend and descend, trip distance, maps...
