Default When are thermals not circular and do thermal helpers assume that they are?

An algorithm works for a single case and each thermal is different.

a lot of snipping Finding the lift is art. Centering it is science, and
science can be reduced to an algorithm. Computers, correctly programmed, are
very good at algorithms - without head down time or otherwise adding to
pilot workload.

But I will try the reworked Naviter version!
