Internal pressure sensor support Can't test it right now because lack of the required Bluetooth hardware. Looks good and works on Galaxy Nexus. A very nice feature would be to also support the internal pressure sensor on devices which support these: Sensor type = TYPE_PRESSURE.

Love being able to connect to my vario and tweak settings on launch using phone! Very simple. Great package.

Works Great, and the layout of the screens is totally adjustable. I added screens for different types of Google Maps, simplified screens, etc. Q: Where do I find, and how to I open/review, the flight data after I started then stopped a flight? A: Start looking for a path in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.bfv/files/, or look in the same path in which custom layout files are usually saved, and the file contents will be CSV format.
★★☆☆☆
Crashes on startup :(. Not updated for latest version of Android.
★★☆☆☆
The barometer does not connect with the application while it works very well on a PC or with Track, it is very unfortunate because the barometer works perfectly well, so I do not recommend this version of application with the barometer BT_USB_V12_r4.
