Tasks are fully compatible with the PG-Race.aero service. Camera permission is requested when scanning QR codes, for easy task sharing with other Apps.

Audible alerts can be set for 'SOS' and 'Retrieve' messages, airspace proximity, and FANET messages.

Flights are logged as IGC and KML files, and can be replayed.

IGC flight logs made by XC Guide are accepted by FAI/CIVL for Cat1 events and are verified by their online validation service. They are also accepted by XContest.
