I'm also surprised that your experience with SYM (See You Mobile for those of you lacking the coded language) you find troubling to exit the thermal assist function. All you do is tap the screen one time, that's it! Last weekend, I found myself at pattern altitude, ready to landout, and then stumbled into a 0.3 knot thermal which I probably wouldn't have been able to center if it weren't for having the thermal assist function in SYM. That saved the day as it brought me up to final glide, 26 miles from home. I was 10 seconds from dropping the gear and committing to a land out. One wrong turn out of the thermal and I was dropping the gear, so this function proved its effectiveness to me.

Scott. I don't think anyone labels SYM's thermal assist useless it's just WinPilot's is far more advanced. I have used both and now XCSoar and neither is as relyable as WinPilot's climb maximizer.

The matter of fact like someone else mentioned earlier SYM seems a bit over cluttered.
So fay I'm most impressed by XCSoar, I wish they just knock off WinPilot's climb maximizer and they will have a tru winner
