To ensure that the glider is running both glmpc.mi and glmpc.xml, it is useful to first start
a Glider Terminal application to observe the running glider, and to start the mission and
script if necessary.
To display the last known glider positions on a map, use the following steps.
1.
Ensure that the glider has been selected using the Glider combobox
2.
Select the ‘Show Glider Positions’ checkbox
Each time the selected glider surfaces the position will be indicated by a small green
square on the map. All such surface positions are joined by arrowed lines, with the most
recent position showing the date and time at which it occurred. Note that surface
positions are only shown for the glider currently selected in the Glider combobox, and
will show when the glider transmits output of the following form (which uses
glider07
as
an example, and only shows the relevant lines):
Glider glider07 at surface.

In fact, Glmpc Terminal can be used to display surface positions whether or not the
glider is running mission glmpc.mi with script glmpc.xml, as long as the glider transmits
the above output when surfacing. Also, further information can be found by mouse
