Quick start guide
FIND a spot
Search Google Places: Use Google Places to find a location you know (country, city, POI, etc.). This search is independent of the search for spots from ParaglidingSpots.
Search PGS database: Do a text search on the ParaglidingSpots database. You can choose whether you want to search only for the spot names or the entire database.
Search in continent or country: Narrow your search in the ParaglidingSpots database to a continent or country.
Search placemarks by type: Select which of the placemark types should be taken into account in the search result.
Search placemarks by rating: For takeoffs, you can also limit the search results to the rating of these points.
Attention: Many countries still do not have ratings. All takeoffs in Europe have a rating. In addition to Europe, the countries Canada, USA, Chile, New Zealand, South Africa, Algeria and Japan also have ratings for takeoffs.
Results: When you click on the name in the results list, the point will be shown on the map. For more information about the point, click on the point.

Filter placemarks by type: Select which of the placemark types to display on the map.
