SkyTrackPro 1.6.2 — New Cockpit Design, Offline Maps v2 and the Social Share Studio

The new SkyTrackPro Version 1.6.2 is now available for iOS and Android. This release brings a fresh visual identity across the app with the new Cockpit design language, a completely reworked Offline Maps v2 with freeform 1 degree cell selection, a brand new Social Share Studio for published flights, and XC scoring that now matches the SkyTrackPro website end to end.

A refreshed look, smarter offline maps, beautiful social cards and scoring that lines up perfectly with the website.

New Cockpit Design Language

SkyTrackPro takes its first big step into a refreshed visual identity called the Cockpit design language. Every screen has been updated to feel more modern, more consistent and better tuned to the way pilots use the app in the air.

  • Refreshed theme and typography across the app
  • Material 3 navigation for a cleaner, more familiar feel
  • Considered motion and haptics to give clear feedback without being noisy
  • The first step in a wider design update rolling out across the next releases

Offline Maps v2

Offline maps have been completely reworked. Instead of picking from fixed regions, you can now build the exact area you want to fly, one cell at a time, with freeform 1 degree cell selection and live size estimates to keep your storage under control.

  • Freeform 1 degree cell selection anywhere in the world
  • Live size estimates so you know how much storage each selection will use
  • Ideal for multi valley XC trips and travelling to unfamiliar areas

Social Share Studio

Sharing a flight is now a first class experience. The new Social Share Studio lets you generate clean, on brand social cards from any published flight, straight from the app.

  • Studio interface built for published flights
  • Consistent look with the SkyTrackPro website share cards
  • Perfect for club posts, competition updates and personal highlights

XC Scoring That Matches the Website

XC scoring now uses the exact same rules as the SkyTrackPro website, so what you see in the app is what you will see online.

  • End to end XC scoring parity with the website
  • New whole flight speed and XC speed metrics
  • Share card uses your XC speed to highlight the best XC distance

Calmer Final Glide Numbers

Final glide numbers have been tuned to feel more honest in real conditions. Arrival glide ratio is now smoothed asymmetrically: it reacts fast when things get worse and more slowly when they get better, so you can trust the reading instead of chasing it.

Flight Layout Editor

  • The flight layout editor map is now seeded with your last known position, so you can build your layout on the terrain you actually fly

Under the Hood

  • Package updates
  • Stability and reliability improvements
