SunFly SunFly - allows computation of sunrise and sunset observed from an aircraft.
With SunFly, mainly an application for aviators, you can exactly predict not only time but also the position of sunrise or sunset.
Insert two waypoints with its coordinates and the respective estimated time over (ETO), the flight level and SunFly does the rest
Speeder Speeder- Program used to determine how fast a car is moving by timing how long it takes to go from piont A to point B.
I created this to assist police officers catch speeders when radar is impractical or otherwise not an option.
It could also be used by a neighborhood watch group to log speeders. Simply pre-measure two pionts and get a stopwatch out
GPSacreage GPSacreage - Want an easy way to export the GPS data to your PC? The PDB files where GPSacreage saves the tract data is backed up on your PC each time you make a Hotsync. Now you can use another PC based application by the same developer to convert those backup PDB files to ascii text format. It makes it possible to use GPSacreage now also as GPS datalogger
Distance (Deutsch) by Hans Distance (Deutsch) by Hans - Distance computes the geodesic distance between two points on the surface of the Earth to an accuracy of about ±50 meters.
This is the German version.
What's New in This Release:
· Extended input accuracy to .01"
· Display of calculated distances to .0001 accuracy
NavAids NavAids is a handy application to compute true course, distance and ETE between two geographic positions.
The shipped database contains more than 600 geographic locations in metropolitan France, including radio navigation aids (VOR, NDB, LOCATOR, ...) and visual report points of hundreds of airfields
RiseSet RiseSet - The RiseSet Program computes the rise, transit and set times for the Sun and the Moon.
Any date and user location may be specified.
RiseSet has good accuracy for visual sighting.
The actual sun times are within a few seconds and the moon times are within a minute
NitroxBasic NitroxBasic - Program to calculate maximum Depth (MOD), air depth (EAD) for Nitrox dives.
Also calculates tank blending of air and O2. Units in imperial or metric.
Programm zur Berechnung von maximaler Tiefe (MOD), Vergleichtiefe (EAD), Nullzeit und Flaschenmix f¼r Tauchgaenge mit Nitrox
highSpeed highSpeed - Beeps when speed goes from watched limit, when limit is 50-53 and your speed changes from 51 to 54 kmph, sound will inform you.
Changing speed from 49 to 54 - no sound - acceleration is too fast. This can be cheated by setting lower limit to 20, for example ;-). Constant speed / slow down is not signaled.
