- Worth noticing
- The page gives ground estimates as tens of metres and flight estimates as hundreds of metres to a few kilometres.
Field notes
The page says SkyPin downloads satellite orbits before travel and that those data remain valid for hours; a world map is bundled, with detailed regions available for download. Its four modes adjust for airplane, train, car, or unrestricted use, and recorded trips can be exported as GPX with turns and speed changes preserved. The stated accuracy ranges from tens of metres on the ground to hundreds of metres or a few kilometres in flight.
