TaskNAV Tn2011 - features

• Advanced flight planning and GPS analysis for glider pilots.  Graphical flight planning on good quality topographical vector mapping (free), using freeware TaskNAV software
   
• A World Championships solution.  TaskNAV has a distinguished Championships record: it was selected as the official contest software for 14 World Championship level contests, i.e. the championships plus rehearsal events, including the gliding element of the World Air Games, at Toledo, Spain. It has also been used for national and regional contests, too numerous to mention.  But nowadays, it is recommended only for private glider pilots and Gliding Club general use. 
   
• Quality Topographic full colour vector mapping - Digital Chart of the World sourced - free downloads giving world-wide gliding coverage
   
• Excellent single flight 2D and 3D animation (3D courtesy Dr Hannes Krueger) with instrument panel subsets on some screens
   
• Advanced Multiple Flights Replay (aka 'maggot racing') with slick ease of use facilities, a variety of track bug options and instrument groups for the status of the race winning gliders.   Its the best 'maggot racing' software that we've seen.
   
• Powerful task search facilities will find that elusive task in the direction you want and within the search criteria provided by you.   A brilliant use of computing that saves you vast amounts of time compared to using manual 'string' methods in the gliding club map room.
   
• LogMaster IGC download convenience:  the TN LogMaster program offers a common GPS logfile download and settings facility for most IGC loggers and some of the COTS (off the shelf) loggers - such as the Garmin family.   Generally, this works very well on XP, Vista and Windows7.
   
• TaskNAV contains support for FAI SC3 competition requirements with particular emphasis on AAT - Assigned Area Tasks.     TN  is suitable for both private pilot FAI badge and pleasure flying, and also the analysis of competition tasks though we no longer support its use in the management of major contest events.

  • Automatic GNSS outlandings
  • Automatic Engine/Mop detection as a GNSS outlanding
  • UTC time offset to reflect local times in analysis, displays and reports
  • Garmin non-IGC loggers are supported by native .TRK files or by using Ron Henderson's most recent edition of the excellent G7ToWin© program to produce Gramin 'IGC' format files. The G7ToWin program is freeware, and for the convenience of TN + Garmin users, it is built into the TN LogMaster©  download management program
    
     
• Quality Printed reports 
  TaskNAV provides both text and high resolution graphic printouts for the complete range of flight planning and GPS analysis options ...
