Lachez

Lachez shows where every balloon at an event is, right now.

A balloon goes where the wind takes it. Nobody knows in advance where it will land — not the pilot, and certainly not the ground crew driving after it. Lachez closes that gap.

FOR PILOTS
Start sharing before take-off and your balloon appears on the event map. Your crew sees where you are, how high you are and which way you are drifting, so they can already be driving towards you while you are still in the air. Sharing keeps working with the phone in your pocket and the screen off. You switch it on and off yourself — nothing is shared until you say so.

AIRSPACE & TERRAIN
While sharing, the pilot screen shows controlled and restricted airspace and power lines right on the map, with a warning as you approach — enough time to call air traffic control by radio. A forward-looking Side View chart shows what lies ahead on your course and at what altitude, so you see it well before you get there. On a tablet, several views sit side by side at once.
FOR GROUND CREW
Open the event map and watch every balloon in the air at once. Pick the one you are chasing and navigate straight to it with one tap; the app hands the coordinates to your usual navigation app. No more guessing from the side of the road.

FOR EVERYONE ELSE
Spectators do not need to install anything. The organiser shares a link and the live map opens in any browser, on any phone.

HOW IT WORKS
The event organiser creates the event and shares the link. There are no accounts and no registration — you pick the event from a list and you are in. For competition events the organiser can protect starts with a short pilot code, which you get at the briefing.

Balloon tracking in Lachez is free.
