Default SSA sailplane tracker - too complex

Well, I just opened it in Safari, got the message and clicked on "run un-embedded" and it runs "OK".

At this point, what you need to do is tap the "share" icon (square box with arrow pointing up) an choose "Add to home screen" (scroll to the right in the list of icons that begin with "copy". Then when you open the link from the home screen, the safari browser stuff doesn't take up screen real estate.

The iPhone experience is just like on a regular computer. Problem is that the left hand menu takes up most of the screen, so you need to hide and unhide it to see the map. If all you see is the map, then tap the red "" at the upper left of the screen to get a list of countries. Then tap on the grey triangle to the right of the country of interest, then again on the grey triangle of the region or airport of interest.

At this point, hide the left menu and tap on carious pushpin icons to see the track. Hold your finger on the pin to see a popup of the pilot name.

I'm quite sure I learned about adding it to the home screen somewhere on GlidePort, but it's been a long time.
