...matter)<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The app is a must download for anyone who has a bunch of GPS tracks lying around (either recorded by a GPS unit or obtained elsewhere). Don't think it's just for people who fly gliders (as the developers' site might suggest)-- FlightTrack works well for GPS tracks collected by car, on foot, on commercial flights, or by any other means. After completing your trip you'll have to spend some time figuring out what elevation data (DEMs) and maps you'll need to use, but with some time and effort (and by carefully following directions on the FlightTrack site) you should be set. Now comes the fun part: pick the appropriate map you wish to display, open the track file, and voila-- your route appears in glorious 3D. 3D? You don't see 3D? Just grab the map with your mouse and yank-- you'll be pleasantly surprised ; ) Recently I used FlightTrack for a presentation, scrolling around a region to highlight certain areas. The audience audibly gasped when I tilted the map obliquely: not a typical presentation sight gag. Afterword another presenter came up to me and asked what I was using and whether it's available on Winders. "Gee, I'm afraid not..."

...ForeRunner 201<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Same behaviour as versions 0.0.10, 0.0.11, 0.0.12 ... when the progress bar for downloading reaches the end the application suddenly quits. Link2GPS and GPS Connect do not exhibit this problem.
Gets better all the time.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />With the quick update from 0.11 to 0.12 I missed all the new features and have only just discovered them. One new feature which I particularly like is the play back, now I can get dizzy sitting at my desk weeks after my flight. I mainly use it with my foot launched powered hang glider but would thorougly recommend it as a general 3D GPS track log. Although present since 0.1 it is also worth noting the leg and track info is super.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />A nice update to an excellent program. This is a must have for anyone who flies with a GPS. The addition of the Route feature is good but I have still to work out how to use the Leg.
