Hi Dave, Your proposal of displaying home when no task is selected appears very convenient. That could eliminate the need to make any adjustments and people could just fly around always knowing the way back, especially those not familiar with the system, E.G. clubmates flying borrowed gliders.
On days when the weather is unstable or only locally flyable, I use to fly around, trying to reach turnpoints not too far away, or taking visitors for a trip round the countryside, though I like to always keep an eye on the risk of outlanding, which is not worth taking on days like these. That is what I had in mind when talking about enhancing the home box. Butterfly has just published a simple version of their iGlide Software. It does exactly this: Point you back to the home field automatically. It cannot do much else, though, allowing only one pull handle for setting a track to one target point and then back. For more, you need to buy the big versions. Their interface is very clean, and well adapted for (multi) touch screen use. I like the responsive zoom and scroll. Worth a look.
