SYRIDE GPS V4

Syride GPS V4 is a lightweight, compact, and powerful GPS variometer designed for paragliding. It combines a precise altimeter, highly responsive variometer, built-in GPS receiver, clear display, and Bluetooth connectivity. It is suitable for beginners, recreational pilots, and experienced paragliders looking for a reliable instrument for everyday flying, thermal soaring, and cross-country flights.

The new V4 generation introduces improved sensors, faster screen refresh rates, enhanced audio feedback, and smartphone connectivity. The built-in GPS allows automatic flight recording without a smartphone, while Bluetooth connectivity provides additional features through the Syride Link app and other compatible flight applications.

Built-in GPS and Flight Recording

Unlike the Alti V4, the Syride GPS V4 features its own GPS receiver, allowing it to display GPS data and record flights independently, even without a smartphone connection.

Flights are automatically saved as digitally signed IGC files, compatible with official flight logging platforms and competitions. Flight data can be transferred to a computer or through the Syride Link application.

Bluetooth and Connectivity

With the Syride Link app, you can connect the instrument to your smartphone, customize settings, transfer flights, and enable real-time flight tracking.

The GPS V4 can also transmit data via Bluetooth to other flight applications, including XCTrack, FlySkyHy, SeeYou Navigator, and Wingman. This allows you to combine the instrument's precise sensors with advanced navigation and maps on your smartphone.
