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?
Every GPS I've seen does elevations, but the elevation information is only just becoming legal for vertical guidance in specially-designated approaches, and only when supplemented by WAAS.
Yet another thought that seems to get mentioned here occasionally: a nearest airport function.
Every aviation GPS has that -- it's the engine-failure panic button.
All the best,
David
