right?

actually the xcsoar representation is quite similar, only that the
climb values are not drawn in a 3D way, but using a polar diagram.
The arrow that WinPilot shows is also available in XCSoar, just not
as emphasized and it will get larger once the suggestion to recenter
gets stronger. could you elaborate on what exactly you think is
better in the WinPilot representation?

SeeYou Mobile uses circles of differing size and color around the
thermal circle to show the thermal strength. It also has an arrow
suggesting the direction to move, and an audio alert when you should
level your wings to move the circle. The circles and arrow can be
assessed in a glance, or the audio alone can be used to avoid even the
need for a glance, all of which seem at least as useful as Winpilot's
depiction.

Mobile doesn't have the chart of lift versus time. How is this useful?
