SkyTrackPro Maps Just Got Smarter – Airspace, Obstacles, and More!

We’re excited to announce a major leap forward in our flight visualization experience. The new SkyTrackPro Map Engine brings advanced layers, smarter visualization, and an even faster rendering core built for pilots who want every detail at their fingertips.

Super fast, accurate, and beautiful. The new map renderer is tuned for reliability, detail, and smooth performance on both desktop and mobile.

Multiple Layers at Your Fingertips

The map now supports multiple, independent layers that can be toggled instantly. Each layer is optimized for speed, clarity, and precision allowing pilots to build exactly the view they need.

  • 🧭 Airspace Layer: Displays FAI airspace zones with clear altitude labels and border styling.
  • ⚠️ Obstacle Layer: Shows towers, powerlines, and masts — colored dynamically based on their danger level (green = low, orange = moderate, red = critical).
  • 🎨 Map Styles: Switch between terrain, satellite, topo, and night modes with a single click.
  • 📏 Measure Tool: Measure distances, check glide ratios, or verify leg lengths directly on the map.
Airspace Layer
Detailed FAI zones and controlled airspace boundaries.
Obstacle Layer
Dynamic colors: light–red, red based on altitude risk.
Map Styles
Terrain, Satellite, Topo, or Night — switch instantly.

XC Tracks and Competition Layers

You can now toggle XC Tracks and Competition Tasks directly on the map. Show or hide multiple flights, see optimized paths, or visualize the official task geometry. It’s perfect for reviewing your route or comparing flights within a competition.

Each task or flight can be displayed in two distinct modes:

  • Optimized Line: shows the perfect mathematical distance between turnpoints.
  • Center Line: displays the actual flown route through the sectors for real-world path accuracy.

Super Fast & Reliable

The entire rendering pipeline has been rebuilt for performance. Whether you’re viewing detailed airspace overlays or multiple XC tracks, SkyTrackPro’s map loads lightning fast even on mobile.

Obstacle data is preprocessed for efficient display, ensuring that towers, cables, and hazards appear instantly without slowing your map down.

Built for Pilots, Powered by Precision

Each feature is crafted to enhance your experience whether you’re analyzing a 10 km evening glide or reviewing a 500 km XC flight. With accurate terrain, safety overlays, and performance tools, SkyTrackPro gives you the clearest picture possible.

Beta Notice: These new layers are in active testing. You might occasionally see small rendering quirks or missing airspace tiles. Please report issues to help us fine-tune performance.

SkyTrackPro continues to push the limits of what flight visualization can be powerful, fast, and built for pilots.
