That would be assuming you have bought SeeYou. Not too likely with a
borrowed logger! But, yes, that will also work.
Brad, not sure, but I kind of doubt it. You might look at your garmin
file and see if it looks like the same format for the data as a .cai file.
If it does, try saving it with a .cai file extension, and try the program.
You don't have anything to lose but a few minutes of time and a few "k"
of memory on the old machine!
And for what it is worth relative to SeeYou, etc, I am talking to my
loggers with an old TI Extensa running Windows 98, and talking with it
through a REAL serial port. No USB hub there! But to get any further, I
have to save it to a floppy, the use my USB floppy drive on a newer
computer to read the file, convert it, and upload. All my tlaking to the
logger is done with the old Cambridge DOS program, as is initial viewing.
Later viewing is done using the upgraded AeroExplorer II.
Still Old School for sure,

It might be possible to use SeeYou without buying it. Andej doesn't
disable many features in his trial versions of SY and SYM, I flew 15
flights on the trial version of SYM before buying it.

I do have a licensed copy of SeeYou for the PC. I got the key after I
realized that it really turns to cripple ware after the trial.

I open my XCsoar generated igc files to view at them in SeeYou before
I post to OLC.............should I do a save or a save-as from SeeYou
to validate the igc file?

File/Save As


Thanks,
Brad

XCSoar isn't on the OLC approved list
http://www2.onlinecontest.org/validate.php
so your file won't be valid.

If cai2igc4olc doesn't convert your Garmin gdb file, try this site:
