More Glide Nav 2 questions - Need technical advice
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). --Noel

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). --Noel

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?

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? 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. --Noel
