I noticed that other than the occasional issue with google maps, the scoring is often wrong on olc this year. I often notice flights which scored from takeoff instead of release. This seems mostly common on high tows followed by long glides. Not sure if the issue is with SeeYou optimization or OLC....

Hi, I have 3 IPAQs with dead internal batteries. Is there a reliable source for replacement internal batteries? A web search turns up a site that reports spares for a number of models but no response on order queries. Canadian based supplier a bonus but not a requirement.

I'm putting together a business plan. Can anyone answer the following: 1. How many glider pilots are there in the US? In the world? 2. How many gliders are registered in the US? 3. How many new gliders came into the country in 2006? 2007? 2008? 4. How many of these were motorgliders?

Am I the only one not able to see any new postings for the past two weeks?

Hi, I have just loaded Win Pilot ver10.02 and it works just fine except I get no wind calculation regardless of how much circling I do. Has anyone experienced this problem? I loaded the program on a second IPAQ with the same issue.
