Which fields you can still reach, ranked and wind-aware.
Low and circling is exactly when your glide computer switches to the thermal screen, and the fields you were counting on leave the glass. GlideRange keeps them on your wrist.
From your position, your height and your glider's best glide — corrected for the wind — it shows which landing options are within reach right now, each with its distance and the glide it needs. A per-site screen points an arrow at the field, a barometric vario helps you climb away, and a wind screen sets the wind behind the figures. It buzzes when a field drops into or out of range, and your safety margin is kept in every calculation.
You load your own fields and airports from a .cup file with the free uploader, so nothing is built in to go stale and it works in any country. How many sites fit depends on your watch's memory; the uploader shows the limit for your model before you sync. After that first sync the app runs offline. Install it free from the Connect IQ Store and fly it for 14 days before you decide; buying ties the licence to your watch in one online step. No account, no subscription.
