I've recently been reassigned to Grand Forks, North Dakota and am looking to fly my Phoebus this summer, but SSA doesn't list any clubs up here. Does anybody know of a club or glider operation anywhere in ND, Western MN? It doesn't look like UND has a club operating at the moment, at least not...

I just wanted to post how much I enjoyed my recent trip to sunny Florida. After searching this newsgroup for a good place to get my add-on commercial glider rating, I travelled from Germany to the Seminole Lake Gliderport in Clermont, FL and was thoroughly impressed by their operation. Knut and...

Hi All, I spent a summer a few years back jumping out of planes, I loved every second of it but unfortunately in skydiving those seconds are few and far between. I'm eager to get into some kind of aerial sport again and I'm looking at Gliding or Paragliding, both of which have local clubs here in...

A few changes to GPS Visualizer lately which are worth announcing: * Google Maps: a lot of changes here, although a few are under the hood where most people won't notice them. The most notable is the ability to have GPS Visualizer automatically generate a list of waypoints and display it...

Thanks to a request by Darren Bedwell of the Central Indiana Soaring Society, I've added a new feature to the Geographic Calculators page at GPS Visualizer: "range rings." (I don't know what the official name for something like this would be, so I've borrowed a term that I've seen on weather radar...

A couple weeks ago, I posted a message announcing that GPS Visualizer could draw Google Maps from your GPS data. Now I'm happy to say that you can also use it to generate KML files for display in Google Earth: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map?form=googleearth Pilots, take note that you can choose...

Hi GPS fans, It's been months since I posted an update about GPS Visualizer. There've been a lot of changes and improvements lately, but the most significant is the addition of Google Maps as an output format. You can upload your GPS data file (in a supported format) and instantly view it in...

(I haven't posted a shamelessly self-promotional message about GPS Visualizer for a few months now, so it seems overdue...) GPS Visualizer -- http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ -- is a free web-based program that takes your GPS data, in a variety of forms, and generates customizable maps or profiles in...

Hi all, Here's an update on GPS Visualizer... it's been a couple months. (GPS Visualizer -- http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ -- is a free, web-based, platform-independent program that takes your GPS data files, in a variety of formats, and generates customizable maps or profiles as standard...

Hi all, There's a couple of new features in GPS Visualizer which may be of interest to people: * You can now put "tickmarks" on a tracklog at a given interval. For instance, every mile or every 10 kilometers. (For now, it only works by distance, but in the future I may figure out how to...

Hi all, If you didn't already know, TerraServer (terraserver-usa.com) has recently made available some 2002 very-high-resolution (as high as 0.25m/pixel!) color aerial photography for 36 urban areas in the U.S. The reason I'm bothering to announce this is that GPS Visualizer...

Hi geo-people, The good news is, as the subject says, GPS Visualizer -- my free, platform-independent, web-based tool for plotting GPS track and waypoint data -- can now convert your SVG drawings to JPEG format, which will make it much easier to put your maps on Web pages, e-mail them, etc. The...

I have a few new GPS Visualizer features to announce: * CONVERSION TO GPX. There's always been a little-noticed "convert a GPS file to text" link that takes your data -- in any one of the many supported file formats -- and converts it to comma-separated or tab-delimited text. Now that same...

It's been a while since I posted an update on what's happening with GPS Visualizer ( http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ ), so here goes: * LANDSAT MAPS HAVE RETURNED. The NASA server that provides excellent satellite imagery of the entire world is finally back on-line. There are still some occasional...

A minor update regarding http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ ... The TerraServer folks have been quietly rolling out high-resolution (and mostly color) 2002 satellite photos for additional cities, and whenever they do, GPS Visualizer is able to take advantage of the new imagery (with no intervention on...
