So, after taking a nice break in WA, visiting some of the spots that people post from, and some of the local talent, I'm back home and back at work on the new version of the site.

New this week at new.ka72.com :
* Ported in My Tracks
* Ported in Groups (can't join them yet, but you can view them. Definitely first draft)
* Added a track replay function that lets you visualise your sail
* Fixed a number of bugs I spotted
* Made a number of changes various people suggested (keep 'em coming!)
* Improved the whole track notes/discussion area
* Made two fixes to the calculation engine for reported bad track results
* Changed the navigation structure to make it more intuitive

Thanks to everyone who's given me feedback on this project. It continues!

Thank you Dylan.
The new version looks so much better. Especially on the phone, that makes it so much nicer.
I love the new features too, they really help to see more details of the session.
10/10 for me.

My post to GPSTC button does not seem to work.
When clicked [on Android or Windows 11 pc] it goes to GPSTC home page [i am logged into both ka72 and gpstc]
Any suggestions on sorting this.

Just press the post to gpstc again and it works. Issue with the gpstc site has been happening for a while.

Thanks for pointing this out once again. Most browsers changed the way they operate back in 2022 to make it hard for you to post data to other sites without their explicit permission. GPSTC has not been updated since then. I've been in sporadic communication with the GPSTC devs about this issue since then, but so far we haven't resolved it. It's not hugely difficult to click the button twice, but obviously I'd prefer a more streamlined experience, and it's a big priority for me to resolve, but unfortunately not under my control.

We continue the conversation.

In the meantime, there is a workaround, and I promise it will be sorted out sooner or later.

THE missing link is there! A button on GPSTC posts to see track! Whoa, the future is bright!
