WGC 2006: IGC display via GPC Visualizer
wrote:
Hi, I just want to use this forum to thank Adam Schneider, the guy
behind GPS Visualizer, for providing this fantastic tool - for free!
As you might have noticed, we used it on the homepage of the World
Gliding Championships 2006 to display IGC-files both in Google Maps,
Google Earth and as altitude, speed and distance profiles. It all
started when I emailed Adam and wondered if he could modify the service
so that I could write a simple front-end for it and let GPS Visualizer
directly download the IGC files from our homepage and do all the hard
work of analyzing and drawing maps/profiles etc. Adam responded right
away and the result was really really nice.
See and try for yourself:

According to Adam, 4403 different users used this service to draw about
10000 maps. Thanks again!
