WHAT'S NEW IN 2.2 — RAIN ALERT

EXTK was built for free flight and hike & fly, where knowing what's coming from the sky can make the difference between a memorable day and a mistake. The new Rain Alert warns you in real time when rain enters your range, so you can decide to head back, deviate, or land with margin to spare.

• In-map overlay with direction arrow and exact distance to the precipitation cell
• Auto-zoom on open to the storm edge, so you see instantly where it's coming from
• Voice alert announcing direction and distance — no need to look away from the sky
• Trigger distance configurable up to 50 km, so you set your own safety margin
• Configurable sensitivity: more conservative on long XC, more permissive on local flights
• Works in standby too: keeps monitoring rain even when tracking is off, so the alert reaches you regardless — on the ground, at take-off or in flight

Useful on the ground too: hikers, bikers and anyone spending time in the mountains benefits from the same early warning.
