I think it would be very handy in the air, quite often I have landable
points displaying in XCSoar and as I fly over at high altitude I like to
look a them to memorize the environment. Sometimes it is rather difficult
to find where the strip is supposed to be and a little pic would come a
long way to help.
It would be most appreciated if that code form Olaf was introduced.
Cheers
Jacques
