Make better-informed decisions in an LOI event or when GPS reliability is uncertain. Compare your GPS-derived position with a position calculated from nearby VOR/DME navaids, and quickly determine whether your navigation system is providing accurate information or if it may be compromised by interference or spoofing.

Tap any VOR/DME navaid on the Aeronautical Map to open the Cross-Check tool within the details slide-out. ForeFlight will then display both your GPS position and the manually calculated navaid-based position, allowing you to clearly and confidently evaluate the deviation.
