waveoff5500 0 #27 September 1, 2011 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."its just a normal day at the dropzone until its not" 1653 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motoxbudd 0 #28 September 1, 2011 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. -moto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckakers 425 #29 September 1, 2011 QuoteDoesn'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.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegull 0 #32 January 11, 2012 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 : http://www.skydivergps.com/iphone/map/ it repquires the google earth plugin which you can get here : http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html Blue skies, AlexisHey ! i am an iPhone Developper and guess what ? I made an App for recording your jumps live with the gps signal... http://www.skydivergps.com/iphone/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
