Descrição

Navigation as it used to be!

Simulate a VHF Omni Receiver with modern GPS on your phone or Apple Watch! Classic OBS-CDI display or HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator). App contains a World-Wide database of ALL VORs, TACANs, VORTACS, DMEs, as well as all NDBs and medium and large sized Airports. That's 4268 VOR-type stations, 6857 NDBs and 4831 Airports. Almost 16,000 Nav Aids in total. There is no line of sight limit - You can navigate Direct to any station from anywhere! VOR Navigator also give you a DME readout to any selected Nav Aid and on the phone, a Closure rate. Great fun as a passenger too!

The iOS app also gives you an ADF (Automatic Direction Finder) instrument with lightning mode! Enjoy the "Dark and Stormy Night" frustrations of the old-timers who once had to rely on ADF.

This App runs independently on both the iPhone (or iPad) and on a Series 2 and later Apple Watch! Both Apps are bundled together for a single purchase price.

You must enable GPS location access on the paired iPhone before the Watch App will work. Enable GPS by running the App on your paired iPhone and granting GPS permission. After enabling the GPS, the watch and the iPhone versions of VOR Navigator will work completely independently.

Save favorite waypoints by tapping the heart icon in iOS, remove a favorite by tapping the filled heart icon. In watchOS, favorites are also selected with the heart icon.

On the watch app, after entering a waypoint in the station picker, remember to select the station at the bottom of the screen before swiping back to Navigation.

True North not Magnetic North

True North not Magnetic North was a screen that came up the first time I opened the app. I wanted this as a training aid but if it doesn’t work the same (true vs magnetic) how do you know you’re doing it right as you won’t end up where you are expecting. We all have ForeFlight or equivalent on our phones so nobody’s getting lost.

Thank you for your comments! It’s true that all electronic flight bag instruments use True north, since A)that’s what the GPS system provides, and 2) it is difficult to calculate local difference between true and magnetic without internet access. Also of note, the magnetic north moves, so your reference/training material needs to be updated every year or two. For many training scenarios, True north should be fine. If you think having the option for MN is important to you, contact me offline at doc at aviametrix dot com

Database is several years too old

I purchased this app 3 days ago and to find out its database is way too old. I.e.: VOR GRR no longer exists, the new one is VIO and this, again, was changed several years ago.
