Any chance to make this accessible to other online XCSOAR pilots in their glider?
I am thinking of a FLARM style radar to show thermal information of nearby gliders, but on a wider scale and perhaps a memory function (known thermals, last 30 minutes or similar). (could be delayed by a user configurable amount of minutes, if considered competition relevant, for those flying in a contest). Would also help if the data can be sent "database friendly", to allow analysis of frequent thermal positions over time.
