Hi John,



The link between barogram and map is being designed and will be

available very soon, in both pages.



In regards to contest flights, the functionality to evaluate IGC racing

tasks has already been created and will be introduced shortly in the

form of a decentralized competition around a task: Anyone can declare a

task and people who fly it will be ranked according to best speed around

the course (or distance achieved).



There are plans to introduce a more dedicated contest evaluation

function, but this is further down the list. That is unless of course it

proves to be a popular demand, in which case it could be developed as a

matter of priority.

Very nice display.




It would be nice to have altitude and position displayed at the same time with the slider bar. The overview page shows both, but with no slider bar. the map page with slider bar doesn't show altitude. It's interesting to correlated position and altitude.




While you're at it, if you were to implement US contest start, finish, and turnpoints it would be cool for evaluating contest flights.

This looks very promising! I just easily uploaded all my 2012 flights with one click and at first glance, they seemed to be scored right.
As other commented, being able to easily cross post to OLC, Skylines and Crosscountry is a must to prevent fragmentation of flight data.

few quick comments:
1 - The turquoise trace is hard to read.
2 - The average speed in the pilot stats page is calculated wrong.
3 - When posting to facebook, will be nice to show the trace in the thumbnail similar to OLC, instead of the site logo.
