Thanks Tobi, fabulous!

John

Opened IGC GE and then opened the file with SeeYou file in Route mode
and "futzed" with the replay speeds to get everything synced and then
let them run. Had to continuosly sync using the GE time control but
that was easy. The 2 applications kept time drifting, Google seems to
have some small realtime issues.

Worked like a charm though and is a great tool for learning the
terrain in a area. I am headed for Sondrio in March and this helps me
to learn the extended local terrain. I downloaded IGC files from the
OLC for the Sondrio area. With SeeYou, GE and a chart I am statring to
familarize myself with the area, including the "hot" thermal spots!

Bob
Thanks again Tobi!
