Plase confirm this function uses current MC. I browsed the on-line

I forgot to add in my previous post: If you really want to have "real
time" feedback in GPS_LOG for whether you can clear a mountain range
on course, you would not be looking at the GLIDE footprint, but at
forward looking terrain plot. This gives you glide path at your
current speed, wind... plotted with the ground profile. Got me through
several passes that I would have never attempted without that
information.
