HTML5 Byron IGC Visualizer

byron-vis

This tool lets you show off or analyze your glider flights out of Byron airport. Just hit the link below and drag your *.igc file into the browser window. Everything is handled client side, if it doesn't work for you try a recent version of Google Chrome. I'm using ES6 which isn't supported well in all browsers, maybe send me a pull request for transpiling with babel?

Feature Request: URL encoding of externally hosted IGC files

I would like to be able to load an IGC file hosted on an external website (for example this one on skylines.aero). Loading a file in this way should create a URL which loads the same file into the viewer. This would allow me to share my flights much more easily!
