Hi Rick, I tried posting this to the Hang Gliding general forum of hanggliding.org earlier this week, but didn't see a response. Don't know if that was deliberate on your part, or merely an oversight...

Small world...

Rick, I have been using GPSVisualizer to convert my tracks from GPX format, because I very much like being able to color the track by altitude, but I was browsing today for a more batch-mode alternative (I have a lot of unprocessed tracks) and came across your even better converter. Being able to select among colorization options in Google Earth is really sweet!

So, my question now is whether I might be able to get a copy of your Java code so that I can run it locally rather than just through the web interface.

By the way, the "Small world..." opening above is because I think you're the very same Rick from whom I bought a bright red pair of used bar mitts (which have proven quite useful for flying in the Kamloops, BC area) when I was living and working in Colorado Springs. I'm now having a wonderful year in Australia where my new wife is on a one-year teaching exchange...there are several good flying sites in this Canberra area, and lots of pilots.

Sorry. This forum isn't notifying me of new posts in this category for some reason.

FYI - if you ever want to ask a person a specific question on hg.org you need to send them a private message. If you just add a post to a thread there is no guarantee it will be seen by the person you intend.

I'm swamped with other work at the moment so I don't have time to see what it would take to share the code for the IGC converter. The code has other dependencies. I'll get back to you when I have more time to look into it.

Enjoy.
