Hot Air Balloon Map is the ultimate companion for hot air balloon pilots and co-pilots. Plan your flights, calculate weight and balance, check live weather conditions, and track your route — all directly from your iPhone or iPad. Whether you’re preparing for a scenic flight or managing a professional balloon operation, Hot Air Balloon Map helps you plan safely and efficiently.

Hi Product Hunt community! 🚀 I’m Fırat, a Cloud Engineer and indie developer based in Turkey — a country home to Cappadocia, one of the world's hot air ballooning capitals. 🇹🇷🎈 Watching the majestic flights inspired me to look under the hood of balloon piloting. I realized that while aviation is advancing rapidly, many balloon pilots are still stuck with fragmented tools or manual calculations for critical tasks. That’s why I built Hot Air Balloon Map. It is not just a map; it’s a comprehensive Flight Computer designed specifically for lighter-than-air aviation. Key Features: 📍 Advanced Navigation: Specialized tracking and wind layer visualization. ⚖️ Weight & Balance: Instant, precise calculations to ensure flight safety (no more pen and paper!). ☁️ Live Weather Data: Real-time integration for flight planning. I developed this using SwiftUI, Apple Weatherkit, Mapbox, focusing on performance and reliability in the air. I would love to hear your feedback, especially on the UI/UX and feature set. Whether you are a pilot, an aviation geek, or a dev interested in map-based apps, let me know what you think! Happy flying (and hunting)! 🌤️ Fırat Güleç

Congrats on the launch, @fgulec! The concept is really catching. I’m curious about one thing: do you plan to add features for exporting data or generating reports in the future? I think having access to those metrics externally would be great. What’s next on your roadmap?

@fatihzt Hey, thanks for the great question! That is definitely part of the plan. We are currently working on v2, and data integration (specifically regarding export capabilities) is at the very top of our list. Stay tuned for updates!
