>i think one reason why the field images was unsuccessful as a feature is that we were using landsat imagery which was pretty awful. could someone please try to find a good new source of imagery (open license of course)? Not open license and available for the Alps only, but exactly the kind of information one is looking for when landing on a field: http://www.streckenflug.at/index.php?p=w_html&id=287 I don´t think any automatically generated sat images would come close. With a more general approach of linking waypoints to pictures other interesting options might be possible, maybe a waypoint type "Webcam" linked to live pictures downloaded with a smartphone in flight? I am no coder and new to XCSoar, if this is BS or already implemented please disregard ;-) Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Xcsoar-user mailing list Xcsoar-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcsoar-user
