All you do to exit (or enter) the thermal assistant function in Winpilot is ...nothing at all. It does it automatically, at the right moment, without user intervention. I submit that this is an improvement (added to the other improvements already mentioned above).

I'm not saying the SYM thermal assistant is useless. Just that there are better implementations. SYM in general is very verbose (and a little disorganized) in its user interface, compared to other available products. You are endlessly tapping the screen for this or other functions. For example to add a turnpoint, it is a minimum of 9 screen taps on SYM vs. about 4 on Winpilot, and just one on iGlide. Every screen tap is another second with my eyes on the panel and not outside. SYM has a great feature set, but it certainly is not a good example of man-machine interface.
