Some soarindata.info bug fixes (US) by
2KA
I noticed one or two users that had problems when their CUP turnpoint file contained tasks that used numbered turnpoints. In one example, the turnpoint file started with "01Beloit-WI". Any tasks using that turnpoint (or any other numbered one) would get messed up. That issue has been corrected,...

SeeYou 4 by

Has anyone besides me noticed that SeeYou 4 (desktop version) has been
released? It's a bit confusing becuase the date next to the link on
Naviter's website is shown as 2010 instead of 2011, but it really is a
