A gift for iPhone users !

Recommended Posts

i tried the app out this week when we jumped the otter at canton air sports, idk if something was messed up with my gps signal but it said my max speed was 63 mph, we were freeflying, thats some slow freeflying ;) it was very user friendly though and i think the free fall time was accurate.

this is really neat. im a sw geek too. if someone will post the raw gps log file, ill make a little script that auto crops the data to just your jump, as well as color code the 3d path according to speed.

ill then post the script here and send to the op so he can mod the app if he wants.

Doesn't the iPhone (among most other phones) use aGPS that relies heavily on the cell tower reception to give it a better fix as to where it is?

Without the assist, it is possible that your results are way off, so sure, it might be a novelty to see you roughly flew this far, this fast... it's not that accurate.



My droid can use cell towers, but also has sat for accuracy, and it is damned accurate, too.

Hello every one,

The way to see your jump recorded with SKYDIVERGPS iphone app as been optimized.

You can now see it online, in your regular browser ( firefox, internet explorer or chrome etc...).

I also added an animation that allows you to fly aroud your jump in 3D. Pretty interesting i think if you want to figure out what you did (and how you did it)

You can check the cool stuff here :

it repquires the google earth plugin which you can get here :

Blue skies,
