Is there any flight planning software that will allow you to:
Load YOUR waypoint file,
Then
Display it graphically on the screen (map overlay showing SUA's would
be nice)
Then
Pick waypoints (by clicking on them, not making text entries!)
OUTPUT: total distance in (pick your units) , distance of each leg,
and percentage of the total distance for each leg. Optionally, allow
un-picking any giving waypoint and picking another.
Generating a task to send to your flight recorder when you're
satisfied with the result.
I have to admit I've only played with See You a little, and really
nothing else. |

StrePla does all that. It also stores the tasks, so that you can
select that task again in the future. Once you select a start point
and first TP, it displays the area (by shading it) that allows for FAI
triangles, etc. It communicates with your flight recorder to pass
declaration, turnpoints, common tasks, and also retrieves flight
tracks. Very graphical, very simple. I've used it with a Volkslogger
since '95. (It also communicates with Pocket StrePla, and passes
maps, airspace, turnpoints, tasks with my IPAQ 3950. They're at
www.strepla.de |

That's a decent description of how I edit my tasks in SeeYou.
Use Ctrl-T to go into [Tasks] editing, click the green + in the tool
buttons bar to add a task, and use View | Map (or Alt-1) to edit the
task using clicks and drags on the map. There is a small learning
curve to it but it's very easy once you get the hang of it.

Thanks to you all! I figured it was just my ignorance of the See You
features that was the problem.
Thanks again! |

Hi,
Both SeeYou and StrePla do that extremely well.
For SeeYou, you can see how it works in my free online training videos here:
