Hi,
A customer has a PowerFLARM Core and wants to use it to display nearby FLARM, ADS-B and PCAS traffic on a PC - on the ground. It is easy to connect the PowerFLARM Core to the PC's serial port, but I'm not aware of any software to display the traffic on a map. Any suggestions? Are any soaring clubs doing this?
The customer is currently using an Oudie 2. It works fine, but he'd prefer a much larger and higher-resolution monitor.
Best Regards,

XCSoar will do that. There's a Windows version as well as a Linux version that both work on the desktop. Free.
The OGN station setups (
