Default Electronic review of flight?

I use my Garmin eTrex handheld to store flight details. The data can be
downloaded to a computer.

The data consists of a series of lines with data e.g.:
Latitude Longitude Altitude Date Time
Duration Miles mph
N52°01.9574' E001°14.9907' 3693.7 07/10/2005 08:47:38 0 0:36:16
30.462 130.4

This can be imported into a spreadsheet to plot speed/time, height/time, and
location.

Garmin also provide a map function on a CD with the eTrex, that can show the
course plot.

Alternatively you can use a free application like GPSU, to get a course
overlayed on a scanned-in map, from http://www.gpsu.co.uk/.

With all of the new EFIS(Electronic flight Instrumentation Systems),
has anyone seen one that stores the flight path for replay? It looks like
all of the information is there, and this would be a tremendous help in
instrument instructing, or even "pattern review". If downloaded to a
simulator on a pc, this would be a good help answer post flight review
questions. Al CFIAMI
