Default New LK8000 glide computer video

XCSoar does not have a 3D display like Winpilot for thermal
visualisation,
but it does drop breadcrumbs on your trail, with bigger/smaller dots
when lift gets stronger/weaker. It also drops a marker at the thermal
centre automatically, so you can scurry back to it if required.
Check out the Altair Glide computer, which has been designeded to run
XCSoar.

Note prices are in Australian dollars.

Cheers
