Very good question, none for Canada I know of. We don't want to make it
too easy to see where to find the "other" guys!

Maybe we need each country to prepare a waypoint file containing only
the club locations, then provide that to Mr. Leibacher and maybe he
would post them as a separate option on his site, as all one file or as
one file per country.

Then just open the waypoint file in your soaring software of choice to
do the distance calculations.

Those without SeeYou, etc., would have to view a set of maps on a
national soaring site (www.sac.ca for us). But each country then has a
fairly easy way to produce such a map as a screen snapshot from SeeYou
or whatever.

I'll see if I can get such a Canadian waypoint file going. That will
prove out the difficulties involved If anyone else can do their
country let's get together somehow.

Hi,

The British Gliding Association has a list of their clubs displayed
on
a map (at http://www.gliding.co.uk/findaclub/ukmap.htm).

Does anyone know of similar maps for other countries ?

It took me a long time to find gliding clubs in Poland and then it
was
difficult to determine how far they where from my hotel (excellent
list of world clubs at

http://www.esgc.co.uk/home.asp?start...country=poland
but no map). I ended up having to ask a local which was the nearest
club.

I want to fly in Chicago shortly and the Soaring Society of America
list 8 clubs in IL. I will have to determine the address of each
club
and find them on a map related to where I am staying. This takes
time
and I am sure that many people would have done this before.

I dont mind doing this once if the data that I find helps other
people, and therefore I can use data that other people have found.

If anyone knows of such maps, I would be very greatful.

Thanks in advance,
