Cumulus is a program designed for the soaring community. It provides a
moving map display with all the information you need to make
navigation easier while flying, yet requiring a minimum of user
interaction. Navigation during flight is based on the processing of
standard NMEA records delivered by a GPS receiver. Additionally, the
proprietary NMEA sentences of some logger devices can be included in
the processing.
Cumulus features a full colour moving map with information on terrain, airfields, airspace, (rail-) roads, water, cities and many other details. It handles waypoints, IGC logging and tasks in cooperation with KFLog. Wind determination, reachable sites, final glide, sunrise and sunset calculations, retrieving of airport weather reports (METAR and TAF), live tracking of flights as well as automatic task point switching are also supported.
Cumulus is distributed as open source under the GPLv3 license. See here for the license conditions.
