SkyTraX is a GPS and barometric data logger for skydiving. It operates on the principle of “set and forget” – turn it on at the start of each day, and it will automatically detect the start and end of each jump and log only the duration of the jump to memory. Like an AAD, it will automatically turn itself off at the end of the day.
SkyTraX prioritises logging GPS data – if the GPS fix quality is sufficiently high, GPS data will be stored in memory. However, if the GPS fix is lost or degrades during a jump, SkyTraX will automatically switch to logging barometric data for altitude and vertical speed. If the GPS fix is later recovered, logging will seamlessly switch back to GPS data.
Logged data is presented in a standardised format supported by most existing software tools for viewing skydive logs. (For example: Flysight Viewer, gSwoop, etc.)

Skytrax gives me all the info I need my mediocre swoops! Combined with the Talkable, it becomes the essential skydiving duo!

Gives me all the information I need and solves the problem I had with other gps devices: Forgetting to turn them on or off. Sky trac I just turn on in the morning and I’m done

This is the perfect tool for anyone looking to gain more insight into their jumps and enjoy diving into statistics. It was essential for me and my canopy coach as we worked on progressing my baby swoop. I love how easy it is to use, and whenever I have questions, I receive quick responses. Plus, the value it offers for the price is fantastic.
