NavAid Android APK v1.24.0

GPS status and satellites, the phone's barometer, and a map tour for new pilots.

• GPS status line: while Location or a recording is on, a line under the top strip shows the position's accuracy and how often fixes arrive. Its edge is green, amber or red.
  • New in the app: satellites used / in view.
  • Tap the line for details: satellites per system (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou), signal, altitude accuracy, last fix and time to first fix.
• Barometer: on phones with a pressure sensor, the GPS details show pressure, pressure altitude and vertical speed. It reads cabin pressure, close to outside pressure in an unpressurised aeroplane.
• Screen stays on while your position shows, and the phone vibrates with every in-flight alert.
• Screen brightness in Settings, for night flying. It can dim below the phone's own minimum; one button gives the phone its setting back.
• Map tour: on first launch, after the safety notice, a short tour points at each control and says what it does. Settings → Show the tour plays it again.
• Measure (the ruler) works from the aircraft while your position shows, and is dimmed otherwise. The distance box stays in the middle of the line, above the chart symbols and clear of the buttons. It survives a restart, and Clear map removes it.
• Dimmed means unavailable: a dimmed button or layer row does nothing when tapped and says why. That includes SIGMET, AIRMET and NOTAM when nothing is in force in the next 24 hours.
• Dial: 0 is true north again; the dial reads magnetic only while heading-up turns the chart.
• Back online: chart tiles and NOTAM, SIGMET, AIRMET and weather refresh as soon as the connection returns.

versionCode 24. Signed with the same key as 1.23, so it installs over it. Don't uninstall first: that erases your saved routes.

Install: open the APK and allow "install unknown apps". With Obtainium it shows up as an update.
