Amando, you know what would be really nice to have.

A program that can read plan txt gps files and make an animation that shows the individual boats move in a sped up play back of the race.

This play-back would be an enormous benefit in the evenings to evaluate the tactical moves made and it will very clearly show the errors and where a crew won or lost it.

The data gethering part is not difficult at all. Several of us have been doing that for years now. Sadly we can only animate one boat at the time in the software we have. And its presentation is a little bit to vague to be easily interpreted.

Would it be possible to use your tacticat interface to animate these GPS tracks ? Afterall the tracks themselfs are just basic coordinates which can be transformed into any form desired. Carthesic, Polar, custom grid, geographical grid. You name it. Hell I can even program stuff like that what I can't do is program the display interface.

Would that be difficult do you think ?
