Or, you could go to the XCSoar file manager (config 1/3 - config 2/3 - file manager), click Add, and select the US_UTAH_R9N_HighRes.xcm scenery file and let XCSoar download and install the map fil for you automatically.

I'm trying to get an XCSoar map file for Nephi. XCSoar's site insists I'm using IE even though I'm using Chrome, although it appears (using a mobile device) that the file I need isn't there.

I tried using XCSoar's Map Generation site but my map has been stalled in the "Queued" status for several hours, with a cryptic "refresh" button being the only other thing on the page. Maybe I'll have an email when I wake up tomorrow as a reward for the two hours I've got invested so far in this..

I've installed Top Hat but I haven't removed my faithful Glide Navigator II/Compaq 1550 yet. It's looking better all the time.

Suggestions? Guess I should have entered the Club Class at Wurtsboro, instead. I've got a map file for this area.

I downloaded the US_UTAH_R9N_HighRes.xcm file last night but the scenery stopped just south of Salt Lake...which doesn't do it for Nephi. Perhaps the download was corrupted. In any case, MY requested file was available this morning so as soon as I get cleaned up from flying today, I'll take a look. BTW, I used Top Hat for the first time today and am happy with my decision. If the new file works, all my troubles are over. Right!
