The glidingweb.org website says it has "expired" and the domain name is

it
just no longer available?

Given the new charging regime for Google Maps this excellent
code could do with refactoring to use OpenStreetMaps.

Might get round to that in the New Year once the launch of
BGALadder.net is out of the way ;-)

Anybody know the two gents that generated this useful site

and tell
them

please

Same message on windows and Android equipment

It closed a while ago. Try www.soaringlab.eu


Thanks, have looked at the program but for some of our less

computer
literate
members it may be off-putting. The IGC Viewer and companion

task setting
program was very useable even if these members were given

encouragement
of the flick around the ear to learn it!


Agreed - the tools at http://glidingweb.org are/were just the

right
combination of power and usability.

There's an older version of the IGC viewer available he

https://alistairmgreen.github.io/jsigc/

It doesn't show airspace or turn-points, but is otherwise quite

usable.
It's hosted in such a way that it should continue working for

some time.

The source code for the http://glidingweb.org tools (IGC viewer

an task
planner) seem to be available he

https://github.com/GlidingWeb

The authors are Alistair Malcolm Green and Richard Brisbourne.

Does anyone
have contact details for these gents? I'd be happy to help re-

host these
excellent tools on another web site.

Thanks (and Happy Christmas!),

Andrew Watson
