| Good graphic, maybe good idea, but the results are useless. (at least for the Italian part of the maps, what is not wrong is not shown...) |

I just spent a week paragliding in the French alps, and I used the thermal hotspots as a waypoint file in LK there. It was a very good thing to have for flight planning, it made it very easy to sketch up a rough task to follow, although I was mainly after open distances. The best day we had, I "only" set a task of 100km, but I also had good use of the hotspots while flying beyond the task. The flight ended148km from my takeoff :-) I did not really use it that much to locate the thermals, since it was a good day and thermals were found just where one would expect. But the route choices became easier.
NB: you can export hotspots for different time of the day. I had a long flight of 7,5hours, so I wanted to change the hotspot wp file during flight. That did not work too good, LK crashed and I had to to a reset of my hx4700. I used the latest beta available last week. |
