Alti-Vario-GPS

An Alti-Vario-GPS is a paragliding instrument that combines an altimeter, variometer, and GPS functionality.
It provides pilots with real-time information about their altitude, vertical speed (rate of climb or descent), and position.
This information is crucial for navigation, thermal detection, and overall flight safety.

Detailed Explanation:
Altimeter:
Measures altitude, typically using barometric pressure, and often incorporates GPS data for more accurate readings.

Variometer (Vario):
Measures the rate of climb or descent of the paraglider, helping pilots find and stay in thermal lift.

GPS:
Provides location data, allowing pilots to track their position, navigate, and record flight paths.

Benefits:
Alti-Vario-GPS devices offer a comprehensive suite of features that are essential for paragliding, especially for cross-country flights and competition.

Features:
Real-time data: Provides instant feedback on altitude, vertical speed, and location.

Thermal detection: Helps pilots find and center in rising air currents.

Navigation: Allows for route planning, waypoint navigation, and airspace awareness.

Flight tracking: Records flight paths and can be used for analysis or sharing.

Safety features: Some devices include FLARM and FANET+ for enhanced visibility to other aircraft.

Connectivity: Many devices offer Bluetooth, WiFi, and even 4G/LTE for updates and data transfer.

Examples:
Popular Alti-Vario-GPS devices include the Naviter Omni, Syride SYS’Nav XL, and UltraBip by Stodeus.
