Hi,

I sell and support SeeYou Mobile. It also has what they call a "Thermal
Assistant" that is very much like the one found in WinPilot. It seems to
work well, but I have done only a little testing so far.

I've used the Thermal Assistant for about 15 flights. I can do a better
job when I'm paying attention, but it's an asset when I'm distracted
with other matters. These include looking for other gliders
(particularly if I've lost sight of them), retracting the propeller
after a launch, taking pictures of the scenery, consulting a sectional
chart, using the relief tube, talking on the radio, and so on.

It's not necessary to stare at the PDA, as I find a glance is sufficient
to see about where the maximum lift was in the circle. This gets me
"synchronized" with the thermal again.
