Flight Replay

Learn how to open the replay viewer, scrub through a flight, and switch between the 2D and 3D views.

Replay a Flight

Profile > All Flights > Open a recording > Replay Flight

Replay entry point

Replay is included in the Frequent Flyer and Adventurer plans. On other plans, tapping Replay Flight opens the upgrade sheet. A flight that was recorded on one of those plans can be replayed by anyone who can open it.

Open any saved recording from Your Flights, then tap Replay Flight on the stats tab. On wide screens, the Replay Flight button floats on the map instead.

Imported flights use the same replay entry point, so once a GPX or IGC file has been imported successfully you can open it and replay it exactly like a normal Gaggle recording.

2D replay view

1. Use the 2D replay controls

The replay viewer is now mostly icon-driven. In the 2D map view you can:

  • use the back arrow to leave replay
  • use the top-right follow toggle to lock or unlock the replay camera
  • use the play or pause button to run the replay
  • tap the speed button (it shows Auto or a speed such as 4x) and choose Auto or a fixed speed: 2x, 4x, 8x, 12x, 16x, 24x, 32x, 48x or 64x
  • drag the scrubber along the bottom timeline
  • switch views with the 3D/map toggle at the bottom right of the controls

Auto picks a speed that fits the whole flight into a few minutes. If the flight scored on an obstacle course, it slows down around scoring events so you can see them.

The live metric overlay in replay shows the current values for altitude, height above ground, speed, and climb rate at the point you are scrubbing through.

When you open a replay from a leaderboard or challenge on the recording, the replay also shows that score. On legs flown at a constant speed, a Constant speed card shows how far your speed is from the average, with the maximum deviation allowed.

3D replay view

2. Switch to the 3D view

Tap the 3D icon in the toggle at the bottom right of the controls to swap the replay from the flat map to the 3D terrain view.

The same replay controls stay available in 3D:

  • play or pause
  • speed
  • the timeline scrubber
  • the map icon to return to 2D

Switching views pauses the replay. Switching to 3D also sets the speed to 4x, so press play to continue.

If the terrain view is still loading, give it a moment before capturing or sharing what you see.

Sharing visibility options

3. Control who can open the shared replay

Replay visibility follows the recording’s sharing settings.

Open the recording info tab, tap Sharing, then choose one of the current options:

  • Everyone
  • My Groups
  • Close Friends
  • Private

If you want to send the replay to someone directly, use Share Link from the same settings area on the recording.

This article covers the replay of your own recordings. To replay a meetup or competition from a leaderboard, with different speeds and controls, see Watch a Replay.
