[Thread] Upload to Xcontest via Gaggle

Upload to Xcontest via Gaggle

As I don't fly with a vario+GPS but use on my Android phone the Gaggle application as GPS logger, is it possible to get Xcontest to accept these igc files as they are accepted in Leonardo and how are you supposed to upload the files so that the g-validation is ok? It didn't at least work to download the igc file to the computer and upload it from the computer to Xcontest.

    I think the only way to have g-record valid igc files from Gaggle is to ask Gaggle developers to implement the algorythm needed to generate them.

    It would be a really nice thing for their app, and could boost their popularity, but I don't know how hard it could be or if it can be done at all.

    I just had a look to Gaggle project page and seen that you've already done what I stated above! :)

    Strictly speaking, IGC files from Gaggle software are accepted in World XContest, but not for ranking (you wiil get 0 points).

    ulisse is right, hope Gaggle developers will work on this issue.
