      Reference RASP or xcskies apps.
      Very useful for paragliding, hanggliding, etc

              Yes that is helpful but does not provide the Thermal updraft velocity estimate as http://www.drjack.info/BLIP/INFO/parameters.html#wstar provides.
              For more useful data that windy should consider views for for paragliding, hang gliding, etc., reference the info in https://docs.xcskies.com/home/documentation/xc-skies-layers
