Field notes
The page describes GPS as the source for position, speed, altitude and bearing, and says those readings continue in airplane mode; it also notes that an initial fix may take a minute or two. Pro adds an airport database, route planning, flight history and GPX import/export, while calendar import can identify airport codes such as VIE–AYT. The page says flight data stays on the iPhone and lists no account, ads or analytics.
