So Martin, what is your choice of software?

LK8000 3.0d.

It does all of the above. By tapping the lettering in the top left corner
of the screen you step through all the TPs in the current task, Home
(which might not be part of the task), the best alternate landout and (I
think) the last thermal.

Functionally I see very little difference between LK8000 and XCSoar (they
have a common ancestor and both run on my Binatone PNA). I use LK8000
because I prefer its display layout to that of XCSoar: I prefer to have
data overlaid onto the map rather than permanently losing screen area to
the infobox array, but of course ymmv.
