XCTrack

Advanced flight companion for XC pilots and competitions

XCTrack is a feature-packed flight instrument tailored to paragliding and hang gliding pilots who want more than a simple GPS log. It turns your device into a cockpit-grade assistant, with tools that cater both to casual cross-country explorers and serious competition flyers.

The interface focuses on readability in the air: large, high-contrast widgets, customizable pages, and data fields you can rearrange to match your flying style. Once configured, it delivers at-a-glance information about position, wind, airspace, and glide, reducing the need to juggle multiple instruments.

For XC enthusiasts, XCTrack really shines. The in-flight track optimization for online contests calculates the best scoring line as you fly, helping you make smarter route decisions in real time. The built-in FAI assistant simplifies planning and validating FAI triangles, and integration with XContest for live tracking and one-tap upload closes the loop from launch to scoring.

Competition pilots get advanced navigation pages, task support, and clear turnpoint guidance. Airspace handling is robust, with automatic updates and clear visualization over terrain and road maps, so you can see where the legal sky ends before you get there. Wind computation and support for external sensors and ActiveLook heads-up display glasses push it even closer to a dedicated flight computer.

The flip side is that XCTrack can feel overwhelming at first. The menus are dense, and unlocking its full potential requires time, reading, and a bit of experimentation. The visual design is utilitarian rather than pretty, prioritizing function over polish.

Overall, XCTrack is an exceptional choice for pilots who demand serious tools in the air. If you are willing to climb the learning curve, it can replace or complement traditional instruments with remarkable flexibility and depth.
