There is an IGC standard format for Waypoint source files (XML-based),
but unfortunately the link to it on the IGC webpage seems to be broken

The IGC page describing the Standard Format is now back online at:

http://www.fai.org/gliding/gnss/wpformat.asp


I wonder, how many programs actually support this format (other than
GPS_LOG WinCE)?

Hi all,
Over time, the members of our club modified the turnpoints they use in their
flight computers. This came to light as we scored our year long contest.
To resolve the problems this created, we've put together a single list for
all to use. Ultimately, we hope to put it on John Liebacher's site. Before
we do that, it looks like we need to convert the files into several
different formats. Anyone know of a good tool for doing this?

PERL, aka `The Swiss Army Chainsaw' Pick a good format that can
contain everything you want, and use that to generate all the other
formats. When you do an update, regenerate ALL you other files. Oh,
and include a version number/date stamp as well.
