  • (5) Information bar on the length of the route and the score
  • (6) The layer control

Vertical menu

Five buttons :

  • mnu1 draw the route. See Drawing the route
  • mnu2 add markers. See Markers
  • mnu2 delete current route and markers
  • mnu2 save the drawing. See Save
  • mnu2 measure on the map
  • mnu2 centre the map on the whole route

Display a route

A saved route can be loaded and displayed with the Route button.The route can come from another application.

Logfly displays the following formats:

  • GPX
  • SeeYou (cup)
  • Google Earth (kml)
  • XCtrack
  • GPSDump (wpt)

Display a track

A track or tracks saved in IGC or GPX format can be displayed on the map.

The important thermal points will be drawn in yellow.

Download airspaces

The filter window allows you to choose the airspaces to display.The default values ​​are the most common and the most used.

The most important parameter is the ** search radius **.

The reference point of this radius is the center of the map. If your project is large, do not give up to use the button mnu1 which centre the map around the route project.

Distance and scoring

The information bar displays the total distance of all segments and the duration provided for a default speed at 20 km/h.

The speed of 20 km/h can be modified by the buttons - and +.The update is immediate.

By default, route scoring is activated. It is possible to deactivate it by clicking on the check box next to the word Scoring.

The scoring is computed according to the chosen rule: FFVL, XContest, FAI and XCLeague. For more details on the rules of scoring, see the page scoring.

The scoring is immediately updated. By clicking on the last point, and moving it to the yellow circle, the score will change. We will go from a free distance to a triangle. The colored sectors that appear display the possibilities of FAI triangle. Move the triangle’s peaks to these sectors to update the scoring.

Layer control

With the layer control located at the top right of the screen, you can change the type of card displayed (OpenStreetMap, IGN, etc.). You can add overlay layers. Thanks to analysis work on the site thermal.kk7, we can display all the thermals in the area. Check thermal.kk7.ch.
