Flying. Man’s oldest dream – to fly like a bird. Some prefer the quiet of
soaring flight on a hang glider, and the challenge of having to find an
invisible mass of rising air to sustain them. Others lean more toward the
convenience and lesser dependence on the weather while flying with power in an
ultra light. Whatever your choice of wings, Trimble Outdoors can help you get
the most out of your flying adventure.
You may already have a flight computer or other means to map out your likely
routes. But what about your driver or ground crew? Chances are they’ll need a
comparable GPS capability to what you’re using inflight. And, just as likely,
they’ll already be carrying a cell phone. With Trimble Adventure Planner
and Trimble Outdoors, you can enjoy the benefits of GPS trip planning and
navigation without taking anything but your cell phone* with you. You can save
on space and weight, and still enjoy GPS navigation.
If you don’t already have GPS and mapping capability, you can now with Trimble
Outdoors. You always check the weather when planning a flight. With Adventure
Planner, you can plan your route, checking both the topographic and aerial maps
for a complete picture of where you want to fly. Then using your Trimble
Outdoors phone, download aerial, topographic (or street) maps, and have full
GPS navigation capability, along with your maps, right at your fingertips. You
can save on space and weight, and still enjoy GPS navigation.
If you have to put down unexpectedly, you’ll have your latitude and longitude
coordinates, and can phone your driver or ground crew with them. They’ll be
able to navigate right to you.
And, with Trimble Outdoors and a camera phone, you (or your driver)
can take plenty of photos, and share your adventure online at Trimble Outdoors
with your friends and family.
Regardless of your level of experience, Trimble Outdoors can help you get more
out of your flying adventure. It will allow you to research, plan, experience
and share all your flying adventures across the United States.
Of course, as a member of the Trimble Outdoors community, you can search for
other member’s flying adventures, as well as share your own.

requiring an FAA certificate to operate.
