GiPSy Flight Manager

GiPSy Flight Manager is an extension for FireFox web browser that provides:

  • download of flight tracklogs from your GPS instrument and create IGC in very easy and intuitive way
  • well arranged and usable logbook of all your flights

GiPSy is closely integrated with the XContest system. GiPSy currently runs on  Windows,   Linux OS (x86) and Mac OSX (both Intel and PowerPC platforms).

GiPSy supports these GPS units:

  •  Garmin
  • Aircotec

GiPSy speaks to you in English, Czech, German (thanks to Anton Holly), French (thanks to Dominik Mauchle), Hungarian (thanks to Benedek Bence) and Polish (thanks to Marcin Skowron).

GiPSy is released as freeware, developed by Ondřej Palkovský with the support of XContest team.


The IGC files produced by this software are currently accepted by the XContest system. Once we will be reassured that all critical bugs in the software or validator are found, we will try to get it accepted by other systems as well.
