Hi Folk,
As someone that used to use SeeYou Mobile for many years, the biggest issue is
the lack of an Android version, which forced me onto XCSoar due the available
hardware.
Having come across to the dark side, I must admit I can't see me going back
given the capabilities of XCSoar, and the
Paul,
sorry not true; In my experience when members are asked why they
