Description of Hot Air Balloon Pilot

The Hot Air Balloon is an app that keeps track of all your flight information and navigation so you can focus on the flight. Includes everything for navigation, tracking and logging. The app also features advanced wind-mapping with integrated wind data sharing and map-processing such as overlays of sensitive areas and import of competition maps.
Features
- Flight instruments: Speed, Variometer, Bearing and Altimeter, using barometer if present!
- Track: Records your flight path and altitude
- Logging: View, interact and share recorded tracks. Upload you logs to Drive/Dropbox or share by email
- Network: Your data can be shared in real time with anyone on the same network code. The retrieve vehicle can see your position, targets etc and wind data is integrated from multiple ballons.
- Maps: Navigate with the standard Google Map or with terrain/satellite mode
- Overlays: Import map details such as powerlines or sensitive areas in open formats such as KML, (windmaster) XML, JPG or PNG.
- Waypoints and Geometry: Add markers and targets on the fly. Even geometries such as projection lines, areas or circles!
- WindMap and Projections: The app keeps track on direction and velocity of winds in all altitudes you have been to, visualized as projections on the map!

What's New with Hot Air Balloon Pilot 5.1.4

Fixing tracking issues and adding projection-control as a map layer.
Fixing GPS accuracy filter.
Thanks for all the great feedback - you guys are the best! :)
Note: The app was not available in the Play Store recently due to Google policy changes. If you can read this, the problem is solved.

    Great app that needs few fixes. GPS update frequency should have more options. 1 second would be great. The same with Flight log frequency. Satellite view should have an option to see the map with labels. Network funcionality isn't working at all. App hangs all the time I try to check other network user. Add network source won't let you add any NetworkID with number 6 in it.

    Hot Air Balloon Pilot is perfect for recreational and competition flying. The app has stopped working after I upgraded my Galaxy Tab 8 to Android 13, however. Hoping for a fix, soon!

    This App is great! I agree with the other positive reviews, so I won't repeat what has already been said. It would be helpful to have the ability to trim the flight track in the log. I sometimes forget to end the logging after landing, so the App continues to track my drive home and sitting on my desk, and 28 hours later...oops!

    A must have for pilots! The app offers everything needed for a safe and competitive flights. Especially useful are target setting and wind maps. In addition, the developer Rune is very helpful and immediately offers support and improvements if you have anything in mind that could be added. Highly recommend!
