Trying to figure it out without much success.

Had it turned on and tracking yesterday as I ran errands in my car.
Found several .igc files on my phone but couldn't get anything to
display on the website.Â* Does the cell phone have to be moving to see
anything on the website?Â* Can previously recorded igc files be displayed
after the fact?

Oh, and it depleted my phone battery.

I'll turn it on again in a few minutes as I run some more errands,
driving into Albuquerque and then out east to Moriarty.Â* Maybe someone
will see my car's track.Â* Look for 5J - Stemme.

I've used IGC Droid on my smartphone for the last year or so, like it and it's pretty easy to use. For $20-30, you can find battery charger packs that are usually smaller than the phone itself and store enough power to recharge the phone twice. I also had one that had a solar panel to trickle charge the power pack itself. While running IGC Droid and XCsoar at the same time, I'd still have a fully charged battery on the cell after 5 hours.
