Re: [Aus-soaring] [gfaforum] Parachute lives

Ron: As Dave Springford pointed out, tasks are saved in the cup file. If you're using an older version of SeeYou the satellite imagery (Raster Maps) isn't worth using. Version 8 satellite imagery is better, but after the first year requires a subscription. Viewing igc files in Google Earth
