AirCub on android
Following on from the posts above in August... AirCub is now available in beta for uk (mainland) airspace.
It will down load a recentish map after install and ask for a QNH value. Then you should see a map. Pinch zoom will allow you to zoom in and out and a track line should show airspace changes ahead.
The map is fixed at your current location (GPS) but if you enable drag mode from the settings you should be able to drag the map about. there is also a setting to adjust the altitude. Pilots of different qualifications can set up a set of warnings for particular airspace types. For me Class A is a red NOFLY!
The map app is and will stay free. We may make a small charge for more featured versions with more navigation tools ie a couple of quid. As I said its a beta so its not quite all there but we wanted to test out the code more widely.
It should work with other openair maps of other countries but the maps will have to be loaded and setup by hand. For those who would like to try other countries see the wiki with the app. We would like help getting other maps that have some sort of credible authority saying they are accurate.
Very keen on feedback good or bad....
