How to use PPGPS for Waypoints

[@MikeCotter1]

Great video my friend, keep it up. Love learning.

[@David_Wolfe]

Mike Cotter FlyMiPPG LLC thanks Mike. Gonna really try to make a visit even if it is just a quick overnight .

[@wkboggs5]

Very helpful to see the app used real time. Nice video too. I like your style of presentation. Stay safe bro.

[@willw.7697]

I’ve been using this app mainly to log flights, never figured waypoints out. Actually didn’t even know it was a function till a few weeks ago, so thanks for the input.

[@scottjulius2834]

Great video Mr. Wolf. One thing on spot landing practice, (aim small, miss small) don't just aim for the field, pick a spot in the field and try to hit it.

[@ironeagletrike]

Great job, I have been looking at apps to use ahead of my training in October. Saw you at Moonshiners and can't wait to start working on stuff like this.

[@gezabankuty1718]

Very informative video. Thank you! I will be looking for more of your videos. What made you decide to fly a trike? I think that’s the direction I’m heading.

[@jamesrobinsonppg]

Great info, great views. Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing!

[@David_Wolfe]

James Robinson thank you!!!

[@Omarateastwind]

Great info and great video! Thank you for not adding music...I would much rather hear the engine, wind and your thoughts!

FlightJunkie 1199? Nice video. thanks for the explanation. really good video!

[@DougBow96]

Thanks for sharing, looks like PPGpS is a great app.

[@cmalbertosub]

Scares me that I am starting recognize the wheels and motor - how is your Fresh Breeze and FlyPod? Thanks for the video on ppGPS. I just downloaded and was wondering if you are using GPS or Baro for your Altimeter? And the same goes for Altimeter+. Waiting til next month for my lessons and not sure what equip I will be getting - I do want a Trike though.

[@RobbyP1969]

Thanks for the information. When you're using PPGPS, how do you load a KML file? I see the "Import From File", option, but the file isn't listed as an option. Ideas??

[@TenorDad]

Travel sized Baby Powder! Brilliant idea. Thanks Crazy!

[@XCountryAdventures]

Thanks for the info. I’ll have to check that app out.

[@davidis7]

Thanks for posting the video. Two questions: at around seven minutes and 28 seconds there is a solid red line behind you. What does that represent? Secondly is there a way to store multiple way points that you were not using on a given flight. For example you deleted all of your weight points for this demonstration, but can you keep some others and just select the ones you need for a particular flight? Thanks again?

[@David_Wolfe]

I think the red line was showing the win direction. I stopped using PPGPS a while back and I use SkyFlyHy and have been for some time.

[@davidis7]

[@davidis7]

@@David_Wolfe what was the primary reason for the switch?

[@eddiepreas4318]

Really good vid loved it

[@shawnnafzger6223]

This was a great video 👍 and just what I've been lookin for 😉

[@bryanknepper5226]

What are the alligator clips for on your Fly Pod near your riser clips?

[@David_Wolfe]

Bryan Knepper I detach them after launch. They are the A-Line assists. They have no purpose after launch and I move them so they are not on the video.

[@bryanknepper5226]

Okay thanks for the info

[@David65702]

Your getting better on your spot landings at least you landed in the right field lol. My PPGPS altitude is way off I zero it out every time to. I get no answers from the co. Watch my last video it was rough and there is a couple of times I'm 30 ft off the ground and the alt says 700+.

[@phoenixreimagined]

I have this app but I've never used it. Great video! I'll have to check it out!

[@David_Wolfe]

Nicole Phoenix - Phoenix in Flight it definitely is better than the alternative of flying and getting lost where you are up there!

[@phoenixreimagined]

@@David_Wolfe I use FlySkyHy just for ground speed and altitude. I think it can also be used for waypoints but has to have an additional purchase.

[@sacherjj]

Do you have the settings for Altimeter data using the internal barometer or GPS? This could be the difference between the two apps. The data in the phone should be the same.

[@David_Wolfe]

sacherjj Both are set for internal barometer

[@sacherjj]

@@David_Wolfe wonder if Altimeter Plus uses both together. Never seen that app till you video, so will check it out. .

[@dreambigTV_original]

Bro... nice video .love the baby powder wind testing:-))) that great idea...Dream big tv /Vítek

[@David_Wolfe]

Dream Big TV thanks Vitek!

[@PPGGORILLA]

JESUS! That was a big Jesus. Great tutorial man.

[@David_Wolfe]

Well, he is the man.

[@Alligatorrick]

Mr. Wolfe... How do you keep a flight log? With another app?

[@David_Wolfe]

Philippines: On Us! I have been keeping it in a spreadsheet but since I now use FlySkyHy it keeps it for me.

[@Alligatorrick]

@@David_Wolfe is flyskyhy iphone only? also i'll be looking forward to meet you at the suwanee fly in in live oak florida... i start training shortly after that event...

[@David_Wolfe]

I believe it is. Yes please make sure you find me. Looking forward to meeting you.

[@Alligatorrick]

@@David_Wolfe My co-workers call me AlligatorRick... I'll find you sir... Also I want that same passion you show in every flight video you upload... I'm chasing that feeling... I hope to catch it in Nov-2019...

[@MrHanowski]

With PPGPS, how do I display only the waypoints I've selected for this flight? I don't want to see ALL my saved waypoints, only the ones I've selected for a particular flight. TIA for any help!

[@MrHanowski]

Is there a way to "disable" waypoints without deleting them from the app? I'd like to keep local waypoints listed in the app and use them as needed without having to keep adding them. I also don't want to see the waypoints on the map that I'm currently not using.

[@MrHanowski]

Wondering why my added waypoints don't save for use later after closing the PPGPS app? Must I enable KML, or ICG, or GPX files to allow this under FLIGHT SETTING? Also, what does the dark blue arrow mean? Thanks!

[@MrHanowski]

It was because I didn't allow the app to access my phone files when I installed the app, and you can't do it after the fact. So I deleted the app, then reinstalled, this time allowing access to phone files. Now it saves waypoints.

[@Ohio-PPG-Trike-Adventures]

Nice info!

[@rickwetzel6643]

Love the new saying

[@jeff28092]

Yeah I second the NC flying but be sure that you do not move near a big airport say Raleigh or Charlotte make sure that you are in the country say in Vale Lincolnton Cherryville area from Charlotte or country from Raleigh airport

[@YankeeinSC1]

Pretty cool using the screen recorded phone. Wish I’d have thought of that🤗

[@David_Wolfe]

YankeeinSC1 you can’t imagine how many times I have watched your videos and said to myself “Wish I’d have thought of that!”

[@YankeeinSC1]

Paramotor Crazy so I noticed a few things, 1) why “church” as a waypoint name and not “62’Jesus”? also 2) it looked like you “manually sequenced” or advanced to the soccer waypoint rather than flyin far enough to allow PPGPS to reach church and then automatically sequence. maybe you were just avoiding a dirrect overflight of the building? Maybe the waypoints weren’t in a route? 3) It seems all of these apps and hand helds are limited in that they provide continous “dirrect to” or homing guidance, as opposed to displaying a true route line. I noticed it right away, but until someone commented, I didn’t consider that using these devices to avoid airspace especially very near the edge, could easily result in inadvertant penetration. A combo of big cilynder size, prior and next waypoint locations in relation to the one nearest the airspace bondary and a strong crosswind could all contribute to a navigation assumption that could get a user in trouble. I bet Gorrila loves the term “inadvertant penetration”.

[@David_Wolfe]

YankeeinSC1 lol, I am sure he does. No they do not take in to account air space but I know I was good in the entire area I was flying. I did manually advance but it would have advanced for me once I reached the way point. In this particular case I could see my destination, the church, so I choose to advance and also for educational purposes. My next waypoint, the soccer fields, was completely in an opposite direction. I guess my intent of the video was to show how the app can be used as opposed to how to use it in a point to point XC with waypoints along the way.

[@joshperryppg]

Great video! They should add a feature so you don't go over barbed wire fields! bwhaha

[@David_Wolfe]

Josh Perry that would be nice 🤙

[@ripmanridin7092]

Good one crazy...............

[@David_Wolfe]

ripman ridin thanks my friend

[@larrychurch1356]

You need to zero out your alitmeter on PPGPS before you take off. Just long press on the ALT display

[@David_Wolfe]

Larry Church I do that every time but thank you for your suggestion.

[@larrychurch1356]

@@David_Wolfe Oh I was wondering why you use another app for your altimeter. In your video PPGPS seems off

[@garywakeland7595]

Couldn't find Altimeter+
