HAB Chase is a simple Android app that has one task – to put you on the Sondehub map (Amateur or Pro/Sonde).

That’s it. No receiving. No map.


At the moment it’s for Android only; let me know if you want to use it on an iPhone or GPS-equipped iPad.

For now it’s not in the Google Play store, but you can download the APK directly:

Android 64-bit

Android 32-bit

  1. For anyone looking for an iOS option in the meantime: you can still participate in the chase by sharing your position to Sondehub using the web interface or other generic GPS sharing tools. It’s not quite as simple as a dedicated app, but it works well enough during launches and recoveries.

    Hopefully an iOS build or community port happens at some point, because having a lightweight “just put me on the map” tool like this is really useful for chasers.

  2. Thanks for creating this app. Having a lightweight tool whose only job is to put chasers on the Sondehub map is actually really useful, especially when you don’t need a full tracking or receiving solution. Looking forward to seeing whether an iOS version becomes available in the future.
