GPS Airplane: Offline Speed

How fast is your plane flying right now? How high are you? Which country are you flying over?
GPS Airplane answers, even in airplane mode.

The GPS chip of your Android phone listens to satellites, not to the internet. It keeps working when you switch on airplane mode, in a train tunnel or abroad without roaming. Most apps still go blank offline because their maps and data come from the network. GPS Airplane is built the other way around: everything on screen works with zero network.

A CALM INSTRUMENT PANEL
Inspired by the black-glass cockpits of modern sports cars, Material Design and functionalist minimalism (“less, but better”): thin numbers, a few colored tags, nothing else. Glance at it, understand it, put the phone back in your pocket.

WHAT YOU SEE:
• Speed in km/h, mph or knots, with its curve over the last 5, 15 or 60 minutes.
• Altitude in meters or feet, with its curve and your climb or descent rate.
• Max speed and max altitude: kept until you reset them, even if you close the app.
• Trip distance: in km, miles or nautical miles, resettable.
• Course and compass dial: where you're heading, aviation style (N 3 6 E 12…).
• Offline world map: country borders and 1 250 cities built into the app. See the country below you and the nearest city with its distance and direction.
• Latitude and longitude, GPS accuracy, time since the last fix.
• Local time and UTC: without network your phone may keep the departure time zone, UTC never lies.
• Phone temperature status and battery.

RACE MODE
One big full-screen speedometer, screen kept awake: the take-off roll, a high-speed train, a car on a track. With race time, distance, top speed and average speed.

MADE FOR TRAVEL
• Works in airplane mode, on trains, at sea, abroad without roaming.
• Keeps recording with the screen locked, so your records stay right.
• Altitude from GPS, not from the barometer: in a pressurized cabin a barometer reads the cabin, not the plane.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking, no internet connection at all. Your position never leaves your phone.

TIPS
• Sit by a window: the GPS needs to see the sky.
• The first fix can take a minute or two in airplane mode. It's normal: the phone finds the satellites without help from the network.
• Keep Precise Location on for an accurate speed.
