When I used a Cambridge 25, I also had an iPAQ 3950 running Glide

did its magic and uploaded to OLC. Quick, easy, and almost fool-

That would be assuming you have bought SeeYou. =A0Not too likely

Brad, not sure, but I kind of doubt it. =A0You might look at your

=A0If it does, try saving it with a .cai file extension, and try

And for what it is worth relative to SeeYou, etc, I am talking to

Later viewing is done using the upgraded AeroExplorer II.

Still Old School for sure,

It might be possible to use SeeYou without buying it. Andej doesn't
disable many features in his trial versions of SY and SYM, I flew 15
flights on the trial version of SYM before buying it.

I do have a licensed copy of SeeYou for the PC. I got the key after I
realized that it really turns to cripple ware after the trial.

I open my XCsoar generated igc files to view at them in SeeYou before
I post to OLC.............should I do a save or a save-as from SeeYou
to validate the igc file?

Thanks,
Brad

XCSoar isn't on the OLC approved listhttp://www2.onlinecontest.org/validate.php
so your file won't be valid.

If cai2igc4olc doesn't convert your Garmin gdb file, try this site:http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/gpsbabel/

I do use the gps babel program to convert gdb to igc, that still
results in invalid OLC posting

GPS Babel generates an igc file, but will not generate the security
record.

Try G7ToWin http://www.gpsinformation.org/ronh/g7towin.htm

It downloads directly from your GPS, and should generate an OLC
valid .icg file
