Best program to open igc files?
Depends what you want to do with the file.
- To look at it as raw data, use any text editor (gedit if you run Linux,
Wordpad if you run Windows).
- To see flight statistics, etc, try GPLIGC, which runs under Linux or
Windows but is written in Perl, so you have to install Perl to use it.
Get it from
http://pc12-c714.uibk.ac.at/GPLIGC/GPLIGC.php
It can also convert the log into an IGC file, but ignores any
turnpoints defined in the log.
- To display your flight using Google Earth, you need to convert the .igc
file into a .kml file. There are online converters:
-
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input?form=googleearth
can save the converted file or start Google Earth to display it.
It shows turnpoints defined in the IGC log.
- Use this converter:
http://cunimb.net/igc2kml.php
Save the .KML file and then open it with Google Earth.
It shows turnpoints defined in the IGC log.
Or you can buy a copy of SeeYou from Naviter,
