Is it possible to view the point by point records of an actual flight to see speed, altitude, time, etc? I can view my actual tracks on SD or Google Earth, but would like to have access to more detail. If this is already possible, I must have missed it in the manuals.

Jim, perhaps you could post a screenshot of what you're seeing. The white aircraft symbol that can be dragged around is in the virtual radar window. The documentation almost certainly covers this too.

Shifu, I'm no expect on this either. I just Googled "how gps measures speed" though and a number of helpful results appeared. In short they measure Doppler shift and use this to supplement the change in position over time, it would seem.
