I am a private pilot and what I want to do is sorta similar to the above. I want to take my Garmin eTrex Legend that I have with me on my flights, download the tracklog into GE when I get home, and have it plot out my course and altitude just like your file does above. this way I can fly through my course at home and see the terrain in more detail and also see what mistakes, etc. I might of made in my navigating. the problem I see is this however, is there a way to FLY through your course line in GE at the same exact altitude and eye level view as your actual real flight? Like I look at your above course for hanggliding and I see the altitude changes a lot, just like in a plane, but is there a way to have it fly through this line adjusting the altitude view level to match that of your tracklog? this would be nice too so you can see the real altitude listed in the status bar for each second of your flight... I understand that you have to do this weird conversion stuff as you described above right now to get around a bug in GE, but once this bug is fixed this will be a very useful tool. I wonder if you can even plot a course that you HAVEN'T flown yet, and then have it virtually fly you through the course at an altitude and eye view level that you specify. This would make it very helpful to become familar with the terrain and finding checkpoints BEFORE you take the flight. Thanks Post Extras
