Am pasting in the following information. "Since the computer receives GPS data and thermal strength information it can keep track of the strongest parts of a thermal and suggest maneuvering solutions for centering the strongest lift. At greater range, an even more impressive trick is a database compiled from years of glider flights with coordinates of ground features which have generated thermals on previous flights. The software uses the current wind, sun angle and glider altitude to predict where the glide path is likely to intersect a thermal column" Something in XC Soar future?
