TaskNAV
(freeware) v4.2.582
TaskNAV Flight Planning &
GNSS IGC analysis software is available free to all glider pilots.
However, please note that while the freeware edition can be used for
any country
where TaskNAV mapping exists (see the 'free
MAPS '
page), the TN
author is retired and has time only to maintain waypoint and airspace
updates for the UK edition.

the OpenGL_IGCexplorer, and when TN is running, the 3D viewer can be invoked
from the TN Map window by click on the TaskNAV '3D' icon. You'll

Browser Notes:
Web publishing..
the TN web pages are published using 'Microsoft Expression Web v4'. It
works OK on most (all?) versions of Internet Explorer, but, for
reasons unknown, there may be a loss of correct text colours, fonts
and format on some pages when displayed in other browsers such as Opera or FireFox.
This is not an area where the TN author has
anything other than basic web publishing experience. Any and all
offers of web site development advice, expertise, help, etc, will be
gratefully considered.
