Default Using a "GLIDE footprint"

A "glide footprint" shows clearly how to cross a mountain range since it
computes glide distance in all directions. The courseline may happen to
cross the range at a high peak so a list type display will show the goal as
unreachable but the "glide footprint" will show that a slight change in
course will easily clear the terrain.


I can use that feature!


Use GPS_LOG WinCE. It has it.
