More Glide Nav 2 questions - Need technical advice

I think you would love to use the freeware Tactical glide computer
programm LK8000

In a few days or weeks the 1.20 version will be released.
It runs perfectly on PC/PPC2002/PPC2003/WM5/WM6... portrait or
landscape mode
I can say as a beta tester it is a great piece of software. Stable!
Fast! With great features, who are all very well tested.

Not to hijack the thread, but again - for those seeking a free
alternative I humbly suggest XCSoar. Its super-customizable, does
just about everything that SeeYou does, and works well for tasking (at
least, for the badges and the 2 contests I've flown so far).

Update: After looking at the LK8000 screenshots, it is obvious that
it is some kind of customized / enhanced system based on the XCSoar
code (same user interface).

Yes LK8000 is a fork from XCSoar. Paolo did the 5.2.4 PNA XCSoar
Version and then developed his own free LK8000
I can say as a beta tester. XCSoar is full of really bad bugs. It
crashes often. It calculates wrong! Paolo bugfixed hundreds of real
heavy bugs. Now LK8000 is nearly ready do rollout, but we want to test
it even more.
So highly not recommend XCSoar. I really could be dangerous to trust
wrong calculations. Sorry to say but its the truth.
We are often not understand how this bad bugs could stay in XCSoar so
long and no one noticed them. No one really tested it?

And it has a real new interface which works very very great.

There are bugs in every soaring program. There's no need to do any
fear-mongering about XCSoar. It is being used by thousands of pilots
(including myself in several contests); and no one's falling out of
the sky because of the program.

I look forward to trying the LK8000 system.
