Default How accurate are the OLC AGL traces?

Over flat lands, pretty good. Over mountains, well, it is "interesting". I have seen friends traces showing negative AGL when he was polishing his way up the mountains. I wouldn't put too much faith in the AGL reported by OLC for mountain flights where the pilots are working close to the mountains.

My two cents worth,
Steve Leonard
