New version of Glide Navigator II Available

Glide Navigator II Users,

A new version of Glide Navigator II is now available. Glide Navigator II
remains one of the best selling (most popular) soaring flight software
programs available.
Version 2.41
March 15, 2006
This version fixes a number of bugs and adds a few new features.
Unfortunately, we don't have an exact list of changes because changes were
made as requested over a period of time. Below are a few items that have
changed. Let us know if you find any other changes or bug fixes that we
should document.

a.. Support for US Contest Rule Changes
Turn Area Tasks (Assigned Area Tasks) now support a maximum area radius of
30 statute miles.
Turn Area Tasks (Assigned Area Tasks) support of to 8 turnpoints.
Standard Tasks such as "Assigned Tasks" and "Modified Assigned Tasks"
support up to 14 turnpoints.
b.. Improved "PDA Logger"
Flight logs generated by Glide Navigator II as you fly and saved on a
memory card now have an improved header file which makes it easier to view
the files in SeeYou and StrePla. Glide Navigator II still does not allow
you to enter a Pilot Name or Glider Type into the software so you will need
to edit those data fields in the IGC file manually. Note: This relates only
to flight logs generated by GN II as you fly. It does not relate to flight
logs downloaded from external GPS flight recorders.

Pocket PC Training CD
I created a "Pocket PC Training" CD for pilots that are new to Pocket PCs.
The training CD consists of a menu with links to several short videos. The
introduction includes an overview of terminology and tips. The remaining
videos are short narrated computer screen-capture videos which walk you
through common tasks. I recommend going through all the videos in order and
then re-viewing segments as necessary. The CD is a great spring refresher
course to help you remember what you need to know before getting back into
your glider in the spring. Total Running Time: 24:39. You can see details

Glide Navigator II and Pocket PC Tips Documents
I have also created a few Tips documents that are available on the Glide
Navigator II downloads web page at:
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/gn_downloads.htm I highly recommend that you
download them and read them. They include: "Glide Navigator II Tips and
Setup Procedure" and "Pocket PC Tips". They have been updated quite a bit
over the last year. The Glide Navigator II manual is also available for
download from that page - reading it will help you get the most out of your
new software.

I have tested the new version on Compaq Aero 1520, 1550 and several iPAQs.
Let us know if you have any issues with it.

Good Soaring,
