Glider computers - what's important?
RE-ENGAGING:
Rather than talk about which glide computer program is best... what I
need to know is: What INFORMATION/FEATURES do you experienced guys
find MOST useful in XC soaring.
The most useful thing for me is instant access to safety glide
information. By that I mean knowing what safe landing sites are in
range, the glide margin available, and where they are relative to
current position. Knowing whether it is safe to push on and, if not,
knowing which way to divert, makes a huge difference to cross country
flying.
