I'd also suggest you add GPS_LOG winCE to the list. I'm pretty darn
impressed with it.

Hi,

I received several good suggestions for other "Soaring Tools Training"
topics via e-mail. They are included below. Please let me know if you
have
any other suggestions for products that would benefit from training.
Please
also let me know if you would be interested in doing training on any of
these products. Feel free to vote for presentations that you would attend
by placing an "X" to the left of the topic.

Hi,

The SSA has asked me to organize "Soaring Products Training" the day
before the start of the SSA Convention in Texas. Last year it was
called
the "Software Academy" and was a great success. WinPilot, SeeYou,
StrePla
and Glide Navigator II held training sessions on their products. More
than 200 people attended some of the sessions (I don't have exact
numbers).

This year we have from 8 AM to 8 PM for training classes on Wednesday,
February 1st. I think it makes sense to open it up to training on more
than software. Below is my first shot at a list of possible training
sessions. I think sessions need to be 1 hour (50 minutes + transition)
to
be useful for training purposes. Please post suggestions for products
or
software packages to add to the list and we can do an informal vote to
see
which ones will get the limited number of time slots. We have 12 time
slots. The training sessions will be free of charge.

Key things to consider when suggesting new items for the list or voting
for classed you would attend.
- The product must be widely used in the USA
- The product must lend itself to training (no need to train on a Winter
or Sage Vario)
- There is not enough time to include every product and vendor

Obviously it wouldn't be fair for me to do training on all the products
so
I'm open to suggestions for who is best qualified to do the training.
I'm
glad to do as many as people want me to do. I'm very capable of doing
training on most of them but probably not the best option for WinPilot,
Soaring Pilot, and flyWithCE Navigator.

Time slots will be determined by a pulling names out of a hat.

I look forward to your feedback. If you want to vote, just put an X to
the left of the product in the list.

Good Soaring,

Paul Remde
