GliderLink - New team soaring app for airborne location sharing
Hello Ben and greetings from Canada.
I installed the App but could not download the area covering South West Quebec and South East Ontario. Montreal Soaring Council, our club is located in Hawkesbury, ON. Is it difficult to add the Canadian Map ? Best of luck with this project. I see great potential specially as suggested if it can be integrated into other Apps such as XCsoar ! |

It would be fantastic if this could be integrated with Top Hat

GliderLink - New team soaring app for airborne location sharing
I have Flarm and I still would use this - because in the US only racers have Flarm. I see this a the perfect solution for a club environment.
Please make an iOS version. And look at the possibility of an NMEA output so the glider data could be sent to other soaring map displays via Bluetooth - Oudie, LXnnnn, Clearnav, etc. Perhaps some other smart guy could come up with a way to deconflict duplicate tracks (FLARM vs ADSB vs GliderLink. Possibly by callsign? Kirk 66 |

Kirk 66 "because in the US only racers have Flarm" For clarification, at Moriarty we have over 20 owners with PowerFlarms and only 1 or 2 actually race in regionals or nationals. Now, we almost all "do" fly the OLC....and we all would rather not run into each other or run into other traffic... ;-) |

GliderLink - New team soaring app for airborne location sharing
I am a US based pilot and I am not aware of any privately owned and flown gliders at my airfield that do not have Flarm.

I am a US based pilot and I am not aware of any gliders flown at my airfield that have Flarm. (Out of about a dozen.) In our soaring area there is relatively little civilian non-glider air traffic. And within the glider flying community it's a chicken-and-egg thing, it's useless since nobody else has it, so why buy it. |

Probably because he goes to contests elsewhere. |

Moshe, there are lots of gliders overflying your airfield with flarm. Perhaps if you had flarm you would be aware of that traffic.
RR It's a regional thing. I am a US based pilot and I am not aware of any gliders flown at my airfield that have Flarm. (Out of about a dozen.)

Probably because he goes to contests elsewhere. You're right, RR. They're coming from elsewhere though - such as your club which is located a lot closer to the Big City. And there aren't enough of them over our heads so far to change the mindset in my club about FLARM. Yes the perception might differ from reality, as we don't know what we would have seen had we had FLARM. The one pilot with (IIRC) FLARM says he sees more GA (non-glider) traffic (via ADS-B) than he would otherwise be aware of. Still it's not a high-traffic area, and nobody here even thinks about transponders. |
