I may not have been clear. I saw a consistent difference between the
track displayed by XCSoar and the track displayed by GPS-Nav. The same
difference appeared between the bearing displayed by XCSoar and the
bearing displayed GPS-Nav. This was true even when I wan not heading
toward the turn point. I cannot say which was correct.
I believe both units display bearing and track as True and not magnetic,
though if that is not true, it would explain a difference.

The reason for the discrepancies is probably the wind. With strong
enough cross wind the heading and bearing are not the same.

Don't know if this is related, but yesterday I noticed there was a
consistent 8 to 10 degree difference in the Bearing and the track
between XCSoar and my Cambridge GPS-Nav.
I am running XCSoar 6.8.6 on a Samsung SM-J320V.
Displaying both traces on SeeU showed no difference in position, some
difference in altitude at the higher altitudes (200 ft difference at
5000').
This was the first time I had the phone mounted where I could see it
throughout the flight, so I cannot comment on earlier flights.

For information, today I flight with the 6.7.9 XCSoar Version, and I
had no problems. Same android device, Huawei Y6II Pro with android
6.0. And I checked with accuracy, for 40 km from my base to it.

*Oggetto:* Problem with right track on XCSoar
Yesterday I had the following problem: I’m going to my base right in
front of me, but the direction suggested from XCSoar was 30 degree
to left. I know my base, so it’s not a problem, but If I was in
cross country …
I use XCSoar from many years, and this is first time that I have
this problem.
My configuration:
Android device: Huawei Y6II Pro updated, with no sim and no app
installed
XCSoar 6.8.6
It’s the second time I fly with android device. The waypoint file is
the same I used for many flyghts with IPAQ 3950 with GPS signal from
Flarm XCSoar version 6.7.9 (but PPC2000 is no more supported, so I
had to change platform).
Today I’ll try to load a precedent version of XCSoar for Android to
verify.
Regards
Fabrizio
