πΎ SkyDog GPS β Powered by SkyDog AI
π« Flight Check
Flying "now" for the window you picked. Advisory only β SkyDog reads the FAA's public UAS Facility Maps; you're responsible for TFRs, NOTAMs & local rules before every launch.
π₯ Buddy Trip
Share one code with your crew and everyone shows up live on everyone's map β with distance & direction. 100% free, no accounts. Ends when you end it. Not an emergency service β if someoneβs in danger, call 911.
π Anyone with this code can see the trip while it's live β share it like a house key.
TRIP CODE β
π Anyone with this code can see the trip while it's live β share it like a house key.
π Share your live location?
You'll share your live location with everyone in this trip while it's running. It stops when you end the trip or close the app, and positions are never shown after 24 hours. Buddy Trips is not an emergency or rescue service β in an emergency, call 911.
π My Spots
Your own saved places β stored only on this phone, no account needed. Tap a spot on the map to edit or delete it.
π Save this spot
π¦ Huntable winds (optional) β tap the directions this spot
hunts well on, and π¦ Hunt Intelligence will watch the forecast for you. Stays on this phone.
SkyDog helps you share your location in an emergency. It is not a rescue
service and it is no substitute for calling 911, a personal locator beacon, or your phone's satellite SOS.
The rescuer link needs cell signal to update; your last position stays visible for 24 hours, then it's gone.
Texting 911 works in many US counties β call if you can, text if you can't.
SkyDog can't text anyone by itself β tap the button and
your phone sends the pre-filled message to your emergency contacts.
β³ Back-by Timer
Tell SkyDog when you'll be back. If you don't check in, your phone
alarms and preps a text to your people β your contacts stay on this phone and are never sent anywhere
unless you tap send or switch on auto-email below.
π World Data
Live public data on your map β radar, weather alerts, river flows &
wildfire perimeters. The stuff others paywall, free with ads on SkyDog. Your taxes already paid for it.
NOAA NEXRAD radar via Iowa State Mesonet,
animated over the last hour β runs ~5 minutes behind real time. Situational awareness only,
not a warning service: turn on π¨ Weather Alerts for the official word.
USGS live gauges β tap a π pin for flow &
gauge height. Zoom in to see pins.
Active fire perimeters from the National
Interagency Fire Center. Fires move faster than maps β never use this to judge whether a road or area
is safe. Evacuation orders come from local authorities.
Forecast wind is Open-Meteo; thermals are modeled, not measured β
slope, sun & cloud cover, the same physics guides teach. Deer don't read forecasts either.
π¦ Hunt Wind
Wind forecast: Open-Meteo hourly. Thermals:
modeled, not measured β computed from slope, sun angle & cloud cover. Trust your milkweed over any app.
Wait times follow standard bowhunter-education guidance β advisory only.
Know your state's rules on tracking dogs & retrieval. SkyDog can't smell blood; you can.
πΈ Trail Cam Hub
Every camera. Every brand. One map. Your cams email their photos to a
private SkyDog address β Tactacam Reveal, SpyPoint, Moultrie, Stealth Cam, any cam that can email or forward.
No per-camera fees, ever.
πΊ Your cameras on the map
π Hook up your cam β 2 minutes
Photos are private to you, kept 60 days (up to 400), then cleared β
save keepers to your phone. Auto-tags are a triage (animal / person / vehicle), not species ID β no AI can
age a buck from a blurry 2am frame, and we won't pretend otherwise.
π₯ Cam Timeline
π Night Ops
Screen goes deep red and dim so your dark adaptation survives a map
check. This is screen color only β not thermal imaging and it doesn't help your phone see in the dark.
π Solunar Activity
β
right now at map center
midnight6amnoon6pmmidnight
Classic solunar tables (moon overhead/underfoot = major feed windows,
moonrise/set = minors) blended with live pressure & wind from Open-Meteo. It's an old hunter's almanac with
fresh weather on top β a nudge, not a promise. Animals didn't sign anything.
Positions update while the phone in trouble has signal and
disappear after 24 hours. If this page looks stale, the phone may be out of coverage β trust the last position and
the time stamp.
