The Landing Pin Is an Estimate

Pick a launch point, an ascent rate, a burst height and a parachute. This flies the balloon through tomorrow's winds and puts a pin where it thinks the payload comes down. Then it hands you the track as KMZ, KML or GPX for ATAK.

Try it in the browser — no install. Your browser talks to SondeHub's free predictor itself, so where you fly never reaches my server. Estimates only, never for regulatory use. Recovery can miss by many kilometres. The desktop tool adds multi-day forecast scans, saved missions and wind profiles shared from Windmaster; this has none of them.

A predicted balloon track already drawn from Boulder northeast across the Front Range plains, with launch, burst and landing pins.

It is not published. These are personal builds, and what is here is the write-up rather than the repository.

The browser version is here, running the same work on your own machine: try it.

If you want to read the source or run the full desktop tool, ask. Say what you are doing with it and I will usually send it over.
