New, free viewer for IGC logger files

Looks very nice. I often like to see my flights on map as opposed to Google Earth.
However the date of my flight is a day before it occured. Not sure why. I will have to check the date/time in my Android tablet.

Just checked the date/time and they are both right on. You may have a problem. I used XCsoar to record the IGC file.

Very cool app. I also see the date problem with my flight date one day earlier than actual. Flight can be downloaded he http://crosscountry.aero/flight/view/6074

You might want to use some of the features of crosscountry.aero as ideas for improving your app. It's always good to have some competition among these tool developers.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'll have to look into the date issue; it
is probably something to do with flying in a time zone significantly
different from UTC.

I did not know about crosscountry.aero, but it looks useful!

I have updated the IGC viewer app to fix the date bug.

This problem only affected users whose system clock was set to a time zone
with a negative offset from UTC. The flight date was read from the file as
UTC, but implicitly converted to local time when displayed.

The date is now always shown as UTC; a side effect is that the time of the
first position fix is also included.

Thanks to Alistair from those of us with negative offsets!
