Thank you for your interest in Air Navigation. Air Navigation was developed with General Aviation in mind, however it was quickly adopted by pilots of various flying vehicles including for example paragliders, gliders, ultra light, single or multiengine airplanes, helicopters and even hot air balloons.
Air Navigation is an affordable, yet powerful flight planning and real-time navigation application. With version 5, the application user interface was overhauled to make it easier to use and add various new features. We hope you’ll enjoy the product as much as we enjoyed working on it.
