CT4ME
Cleared for Takeoff
This really looks cool, but I haven't tried it yet. It requires an iPad (with camera) or an iPhone. My iPad1 doesn't have a camera (and the wife has the iPhone).
Imagine this: you're flying...point your iPhone out the window and see this on the screen:
This is a new App from Paul Mace. You might remember him from the old computer days... "the Mace Utilities". Paul is a long-time pilot techno geek, who has been playing around with technology and applying it to aviation. ( www.symbolicflight.com )
Here's the description of the program:
ARPort uses your iPhone or iPad camera and the magic of Augmented Reality to let you see all the airports around you anywhere in the USA or its territories.
ARPort marks the closest 20 Airports in the USA within 25 nautical miles of your position. As you scan with the camera you see the airport tagged and identified where it actually is in the landscape outside.
Aim the target box just below an airport's tag to see its distance and bearing.
Tap the tag, or tap the target box, to see an airport's full name, field elevation and length of its longest runway.
