Glide range is a nice feature. With the new changeable altitude, I would want to use it differently though.
Over water, I'd want it down to 0ft. Can I reach
any land? all I want is ditch near a beach.
Over ground, 1000ft for a somewhat controlled emergency or precautionary landing.
Some alternatives:
1. Can we have 2 circles? One inner circle (maybe dashed, or a different color) to whatever set altitude, and an outer (full line) down to 0ft?
2. Can we have 2 settings and an automatic switch, like today where we can choose to display the circle only over water, except switching between 2 values?
NB: a search of "glide range" on this forum brings a couple of interesting older threads, which might be interesting to look at too.
