About
[GARMIN DISCLAIMER] WARNING: The app is intended only as an in-flight aid and should not be used as a primary information source. If the app contains a barometric altimeter, it will not function in a pressurized aircraft and should not be used in a pressurized aircraft.

GliderSK - shortname for Glider Swiss Knife - is a Garmin ConnectIQ Application that features:
- a General view, displaying all flight data in a single pane: altitude, ground and vertical speeds, finesse, heading, rate-of-turn and G-meter
- a Safety view, that tracks your current distance and altitude in respect with your chosen target destination and alerts you when your altitude becomes too low (or distance too high) to reach that destination given your glide ratio, aka. "finesse"
- a Rate-of-Turn view
- a Variometer view, including variable-frequency tones to "sound" your ascent rate
- a Varioplot view, allowing to keep track of your ascent/descent rate along your flight path
- a Timers view, allowing to keep track of time since the activity, its recording and the last lap were started
- a Log view, allowing to keep track of your last activities
USAGE:

DEVICES:
Being a hobbyist ConnectIQ developer, I do not support device layouts other than the one I own (round 240x240). GitHub Pull-Request implementing such support are welcome though (with accompanying screen capture image).
Also note that despite all my efforts to reduce its memory footprint, GliderSK requires more memory (~150kiB) than most but the latest-generation and most featured devices can offer. Thus the Fenix 5, Forerunner 935, etc. not being supported (having only 128kiB memory available).
