Default GlidePlan Experience

I also agree the software is great. I saw the potential last fall
when Matt first announced it, and ove the course of last winter
provided feedback to suit my needs. It's now working out very well
for me.

I print the charts in reduced scale, and create a 'map book' of 8.5x11
pages that I put into vinyl sheet protectors. About a dozen pages
cover pretty much the whole flying area I'm interested in, with a 20%
overlap from page to page so I always have a sheet pretty much
centered where I am.

Excellent product, and highly recommended for the seasoned XC pilot as
well as for flying locally when coupled with altitude rings around the
home airport.
