or Gardown formats. Both formats contain simple ASCII records of time
|
|
stamped latitude and longitude values. The IGC format also contains
|
|
altitude information (pressure and/or GPS) and the task (route). IGCview
|
|
can also import Gardown format files and export them in IGC format.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>The program is oriented wholly towards looking at the GPS log traces
|
|
produced by glider flights. You can examine other traces, but the analysis
|
|
will not be particularly useful. It can compute quantities such as: start
|
|
to finish, average task and individual leg speeds, climb rates, L/D,
|
|
etc. It can also read and compare multiple flights in detail making it
|
|
a very useful learning tool for cross country and competition oriented
|
|
soaring pilots.</P
