I admit I don't read the manual as closely as I probably should . I discovered the track feature on my 496 the other day - I was driving out to the airport and I kept noticing all these circular lines around the area as I was driving up to the airport (in auto mode). Turns out it was the path the plane had made in the pattern on my previous dozen or so flights! Duh!!!
OK, I have the UPS cable that ties my 496 into the PC and when plugged in it recognizes it.
So now what do I do?
What's the application that people use to pull over their latest flight track and display it on a map of their area? Of course I'm assuming this is done already.... I have visions of overlaying my flight track over a satellite image from GoogleMaps or GoogleEarth. It would be a swell graphic to accompany a trip write-up or such...
Any guidance is appreciated.
