Sectionals for GlidePlan

Is GlidePlan still available for purchase? I've tried unsuccessfully to buy it online several times.

Ditto. It's now totally unsupported by Matt Heron, the developer. Even
worse, you can't even *buy* a licence and self support! I managed to make
the required changes to Lynn Alleys excellent sectionals to 'self support'
but I'm afraid I can only use them in the limited, trial version.

Cumulus Soaring still advertises licences but it's unknown if there are
actually any for sale. Perhaps Paul will comment.

One big issue for GlidePlan was all the effort requires to stitch sectionals together to make unified maps that matched contest areas and common cross-country corridors. I still print maps for my own use using the old sectionals and contest area charts on the GlidePlan website.

If it were possible to generate GlidePlan-compatible maps for an arbitrary soaring area I'd _imagine_ it would be a relatively minor issue to get the software license key generator running again. I'll look into it.

Thanks Lynn for making the effort to get this kick-started.

Hi,

I should probably take GlidePlan off my web site, but I haven't yet because
I still hold hope that it will be supported. I haven't received any orders
for it for some years. It is a neat product but it must take a lot of work
to support the maps. Matt is a great guy - perhaps he just got too busy
with life to support the product well. He is very slow to respond to
emails.

Perhaps it's time for him to sell it or hand it off to someone who is
motivated. The contest maps due offer some revenue potential.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

Paul,

The million dollar question. Can you still sell a (functioning!) licence
key? I can update the sectionals myself, I just need a functioning copy of
GlidePlan (SeeG would be nice too if you can swing it).

Hi Casey,

I can try to order a GlidePlan license key from Matt. It couldn't hurt to
try. Please send me an email or order on my web site. I won't bill you for
it until I deliver a license.

Best Regards,
