Default Top Hat glide computer

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

That is about it. Endless updates and resulting bugs become a distraction after a while. Other than working on any bugs that may come up, ( I did not find one yesterday), I see no reason to change anything. Top Hat really is excellent in terms of function and intuitive interfacing, and I am glad I found it.

Thanks Rob.

Mike, that's great that you find Top Hat intuitive - that's the reason behind the project - to make a glide computer that's easy-to-use.

Hi Robert,


Just discovered you Top Hat soaring app and will use it tomorrow.


Easy to access, most often used info, at your fingertips with a uncluttered interface.

I've used Top Hat for five flights now and love it! Now if some programmer genius can write an interface to my Cambridge 20 to declare flights I'll be THRILLED!

Top Hat worked very well, as expected, being an XCSoar derivative. The interface is excellent while flying-all info you usually need with few screen taps. Will stay with it-very nice.
