I wonder if this could be incorporated (or interfaced) to the current waypoint management code. And, for the pilots on the list, do some GPS units also calculate elevations to plug in for VNAV operation, fuel estimation, etc? Yet another thought that seems to get mentioned here occasionally: a nearest airport function.
