2) A list of pilots.
Showing aircraft type (or photo), relative direction, tracker type and status messages. Contacts permission is requested if the integrated contact features are used.

3) A Google map.
Showing other pilots, retrieve buses, airspace, way-points, thermal hot-spots, flight trails plus safety and retrieve messages.
FANET weather station reports and thermals appear on the map automatically.

4) A Navigation tool to manage waypoints and tasks.

5) A Thermal assistant widget on the map.

6) Rain radar and cloud cover widget.

7) Competition race tasks.
Tasks are fully compatible with the PG-Race.aero service. Camera permission is requested when scanning QR codes, for easy task sharing with other Apps.

Audible alerts can be set for 'SOS' and 'Retrieve' messages, airspace proximity, XC TRACER FLARM ® collision warnings, and new FANET messages.

Flights are logged as IGC and KML files, and can be replayed.

IGC flight logs made by XC Guide are accepted by FAI/CIVL for Cat1 events and are verified by their online validation service. They are also accepted by XContest.

Detailed help, in several languages, is included in the App.
