you still don't have enough information - work it out with vectors and you will see that the answer is ambiguous, the best you get is two different results 180...
... The problem isn't the math, it is obtaining compass heading and true airspeed at a sufficient level of accuracy to produce usable results. Put the...
... I have just laid this out on a vector diagram. Provided you have two separate sets of the following data: - ground speed (from GPS) - track direction over...
We've got simultaneous discussions going on here, which are not quite talking about the same thing. 1) If Herb can find a fluxgate compass that provides...
This could be a great time saving tip or a really bad idea. I don't know myself. I've noticed that when I Hot sync My Tungsten E2 that it takes a inordinate...
Unfortunately, you answered your own question. We can set the backup bit (and do) but we don't have any control over the Last modified field. As you said, we...

Is the '30 sec explanation of the Palm philosphy' in an email or was it a phone conversation. It would be interesting to read. Thanks, Fred ... From: G. Frank...
Fred, Wasn't all that spectacular - its just that I'm a complete PDA newbie (have always hated them, and wouldn't have one now exc my new glider came with...
Hi Mark Funny thing this iPhone or whatever it will be called .-) Yes, I also read what you sent me, but I also read just now in www.mactechnews.de (german...
I'd like some advice - M partner has an Ipaq and is looking for a link for Stypetap to use the soaring Pilot software. I remember reading on a previous post ...
Hi Rob, I'm afraid it's not free ($40) but it does work very well. If you go to the main SP webpage (www.soaringpilot.org) page and scroll down a little....
Are there any HusBos pilots in this group? If so, I'd appreciate their contacting me via the email address above. I've just bought a Palm TungstenT and have...
Tony, I used to be at HusBos a couple of years ago flying a DG100 (813) As one of the developers of SoarPilot I should be able to help you. Although not face...

Just to let everyone know that a new beta version is available. It's been a while since we released one, but there are several new features to enjoy. As ever...
Hi Paul, great news the glide angle! From a paraglider point of wiew, the time-linked average is fine, much better than "since last thermal". Maybe also that a...
Hello, The glide angle is calculated by taking the distance covered / average lift The distance done is calculated from summing up all the small distance...
Agreed that 0.1 is under the standard measure error, and anyway meaningless, but with no decimals, 6.51 and 7.49 would likely be showed both as 7, and this...
The beta version has been updated to display one decimal place for glide angles less than 10. Just download it again. Paul ... meaningless, but with no...
Hallo Paul and Co., recently I tested the SP in Condor and noticed, that the color track is sensitive to the 'knipl termik' behaviour - climb color is...
Paul, Would it be possible to have an option to change the color and line density (width) of the SUA's? They can be very difficult to see especially when ...
Gary, The SUA line colours and Waypoint on/off are already features of SoarPilot! Take a look at the Map Settings screen. You can see how they work in the...
This is a good idea to make the track colours aware of the total energy. I will have to see how to do this. Thanks for the suggestion Paul ... track is ... ...
Paul, There's a section in new soaring pilot that deals with calculating total energy that I sent to the Cumulus group years ago, I think it was Eggert Emke...
Paul, Please make it enable/disable, because PG don't have that much stick pulling effect as gliders do. The speed fluctuaton while thermaling is quite big. So...
