That is why when we built http://track.glidingmaps.com/ we built in predictive speed and patths. It is not perfect, but is by experience much better than just drawing lines between the points. We were also able to then give more realistic speeds and points, so you get a more exciting view of who is coming first. I can't wait to see what we get next. I think that down to 1 minute interval would be a real game changer. I know there is lots on the radar. Experiments with flarm integration for turn points and landing, use of GSM (and other phone) networks. Very exciting times. Scott
