Balloon Navigator alpha

Modern navigation app for hot air balloon pilots

Balloon Navigator was born out of frustration from using existing navigation apps. These old apps were created long time ago, and it feels. Clunky navigation, bad support for laptop touchpads and complicated interfaces… No fun at all!

Balloon Navigator aims to bring joy and safety to competition flying where so much happens on your computer:


Intuitive controls

Instead of clicking on tiny -/+ and arrow buttons, zoom, pinch and pan around with laptop trackpad like you are used to. Use your touchscreen. Become ultra fast with easy to remember keyboard shortcuts and focus on flying.

High quality vector maps

Done are the days of outdated, low quality scanned paper maps. Zoom in as close as you want without quality loss on maps spanning hundreds of kilometers.

Custom, toned down map design stays in background, keeping your view clear on what’s important. Additional data like power lines (in red) gives you full awareness of your surroundings.
