Safer Flying with Global Glide Range Coverage and Obstacles*
When calculating your range, Wingit will download a slice of the elevation model onto your device enabling offline re-evaluations for spots nearby. This means that once out and about, you can always check other takeoff options given the conditions without relying on a connection.
* Obstacles are currently available in Switzerland only.
