Hi,

XCSoaris a free glide computer for Android, Linux, Windows, Windows

The new release 6.0.7b fixes all remaining problems, and can be
considered "stable". *It runs on all devices with Android 1.6 or

You can either use the internal GPS, or connect to a vario/logger over

Just installed this on my Droid X and loaded the terrain maps and
waypoints.
Works great with built in GPS and the phone in airplane mode(which
seems fitting : ).
Good work guys!
