Kwik EFIS GPS Navigation and Maps app for Android description
Kwik EFIS is a Glass Cockpit application designed to work on most Android devices. It provides a modern glass cockpit attitude and flight instrument display.
Digital Moving Map
The built in map module provides situational awareness and navigation functionality. EFIS can optionally integrate with the Stratux ADS-B/AHRS to provide real-time traffic overlay.
Synthetic Vision
Synthetic vision is built from the USGS 3 arc second Digital Elevation Model data. If enabled, it also allows for some terrain collision detection. The required terrain data packages are available via F-Droid, see:
- North America, Canada
- Europe, Russia
- Sahara / North Africa, India / Indonesia, Japan
- Southern Africa, Australia / New Zealand
- South America
Flight Director
Kwik EFIS has a fully functional flight director built in. It uses the standard V-Bar symbology common to modern flight directors. The target waypoint and altitude is set on-screen by means of the spinner controls on the right top and bottom of the screen.
Airspace
Airspace data is provided from Worldwide Soaring Services Turnpoint Exchange Airspace (http://soaringweb.org/Airspace/)
ADS-B/AHRS
In addition to the internal sensors, a low cost Stratux ADS-B/AHRS can be selected as the input source. See http://www.stratux.me/ for more information.
Simulator
There is a simulation mode available in the application. The Flight director is used to select a waypoint and altitude and the simulator will generate the GPS movements to navigate to the selected waypoint. The speed is set at the typical cruise for the currently selected aircraft.
