Everything in Standard + timed extras
oziTarget Map — ProPack
The competition and crew-coordination layer on top of oziTarget Map. Keep the full Standard foundation and add WatchMeFly task workflows, Live Tracking, NMEA playback debrief, forecast winds, MapTiler bring-your-own-key basemaps, and specialist scoring and geometry tools.
Who ProPack is for
- ✓ Fly FAI / national balloon competitions that use WatchMeFly-style task sheets.
- ✓ Run or follow a multi-balloon event where live positions appear on everyone's map.
- ✓ Debrief flight with NMEA or track playback — scrub time and compare against task geometry.
- ✓ Need to use 2D/3D scoring, 3D Star, turn analysis, descent prediction, Land run or elbow and angle task tools.
- ✓ Pull forecast winds from Open-Meteo into Windreader for pre-flight planning.
Many pilots buy lifetime Standard first and add ProPack for the competition season. ProPack does not replace Standard — it extends it. If a subscription lapses, your Standard capabilities stay available on your account.
What ProPack adds
Task Data (WatchMeFly)
Open a task URL and preview the sheet in an embedded browser, build the waypoint grid beside it, then Make or Draw all to place waypoints on the map with UTM grid truth. Per-task Generate, Resolve, and goal-lock workflows for controlled placement.
Best for: Competition organisers and pilots who live in task sheets during draw and task preparation.
Live Tracking
Connect to the oziTarget tracking service: upload your position and receive other pilots on the map. Tracking window for session control and pilot list, projected track lines, data retention, and received tracks that persist across restarts.
Best for: Competition fields, long-distance races, and crew coordination where everyone needs a shared picture.
Playback & History
Replay loaded tracks or recorded NMEA logs — scrub time, follow the aircraft pointer, and review heading-up behaviour. History browses automatic snapshots written during Start Nav or Playback and loads them into the track list.
Best for: Post-flight debrief, judging, and training review.
Open-Meteo wind import
Fetch forecast winds from Open-Meteo and import them into Windreader with time-window and altitude controls. Standard already includes Windreader and Flightwinds sync; ProPack adds this forecast pull for planning.
Best for: Planning a flying day around forecast conditions (internet required at fetch time).
Scoring & task geometry
2D/3D scoring, 3D Star, Descent Prediction, Turn-tool for best left and right, Elbow and Angle tasks, Land Run calculations and more. Each tool gives live map feedback and assists with task planning and execution.
Best for: Pilots and coaches working specific task types or training exercises beyond basic map measure.
Map Link
Pick a map position or waypoint and copy a Google Maps or Apple Maps URL to the clipboard, with a marker showing your last pick.
Best for: Sharing a contest point, goal, or field location with someone who uses phone maps.
MapTiler online maps (BYOK)
Load high-quality satellite and street-style basemaps from MapTiler Cloud using your own API key. Choose the map style you want in Settings, then switch to Map → MapTiler (online) when connected.
Best for: Pilots who want sharper imagery or a different online look than the built-in OSM, Esri, and Sentinel layers.
MapTiler — bring your own key
Standard includes free online basemaps (OpenStreetMap, Esri imagery, Sentinel-2). ProPack adds MapTiler Cloud — high-quality satellite and street-style layers where you choose the look and supply your own API key. Learn more at maptiler.com.
This is a bring your own key (BYOK) feature: oziTarget Map does not bundle MapTiler tile usage in the ProPack subscription. You create a free or paid MapTiler Cloud account and pay MapTiler directly for usage beyond their free-tier limits.

How ProPack is licensed
ProPack is a timed add-on subscription on your oziTarget account. Sign in once and the app enables ProPack-tier menus and tools while the subscription (or 14-day trial) is active. When it expires you revert to Standard — maps, calibration, and everyday tools remain; ProPack-only commands are disabled. If the PC cannot reach the entitlement server, the last known plan may be honoured for up to 14 days.
