Default Using a "GLIDE footprint"

Eric,

Most soaring software that I have seen simply evaluates whether you will
clear obstacles along the flight path from your current position to the
selected destination. If the route is over Pikes Peak, it doesn't consider
going around it. Is there any software that identifies and calculates the
altitude require for the best route to a field?

An "ide footprint"? That was supposed to be "glide footprint"!
