XCSoar is an open source program with programmers around the world.
There's also a user forum and a facility to log problems which are then
fixed and updates released on the Google Play Store. On the very rare
occasion when I've had a problem, it's been quickly addressed and
usually was my fault. A quick look in the user manual usually has the
answer. Go to https://xcsoar.org/ and have a look around. There's no
obligation.

I'm not associated with them in any way, but I have used the program for
the past 5 years and have been very impressed with it.

I am not a computer geek so am a bit concerned that xcsoar has no parents....
Did you/do you have any problems with support ?

It might sound completely crazy, but how about using a dedicated device in the glider?

What a concept! Considering you can now find a Dell Streak 5 on eBay
for under $50 (I've seen them as low as $15), and it's daylight
readable, and XCSoar is free and doesn't do all the bad things I'm
reading about iGlide, and it's continually maintained and updated, and
it has a nearly 200 page user's manual... Then you can turn off your
phone so that, should you land or bail out, you'll have a charged phone
to call for help. Maybe not so crazy...

Dan, what are all the "bad things" you're reading about iGlide?

Just curious
