XCSoar map, generated with skyways and SRTM dem 1
Why skyways on XCSoar?
Skyways are the most used route for cross country flight.
XCSoar is a tactical flight computer.
So having the most used routes on my flight computer makes sense when you need to know where to hop from a mountain to another.
Covered area
The current coverage is 5 15 47 43

Hello,
I found on your website very usefull info. I’ve also use a kobo and I think the skyways will improve my flying. Can you sent me the map for portugal and spain or is a area to big? My atual map is a map that I download from xcsoar and is POR_HighRes.xcm.
