Is it possible to do this on the track log on the map itself rather than getting the pop up airspace information? Even better if an indicator dot appeared on the map corresponding with the mouse hover in virtual radar. Sean Kx Samsung SM-T713, Lineage Operating System Android 10 Skydemon latest version always

Brilliant! Thanks Tim. I discovered a double click on the virtual radar track gave a position cross inside a circle but this is what I was after. Is is possible to get the same information into the Google Earth track? Sean Kx Samsung SM-T713, Lineage Operating System Android 10 Skydemon latest version always

Hi again Tim, I've actually loaded a gpx file from my latest flight into Google Earth and with the 5 second annotations loaded. Zoomed in I can click on each each arrow I can get an altitude and more importantly a ground speed. I'm comparing it with cockpit video with my ASI to establish error margins. The information from the gpx file is showing as in metres and km/h. Does Skydemon use this by default in the background and convert to feet, knots etc for users to see? Edited to say I have changed Google Earth settings and reloaded the file which now shows each annotation info in feet and mph. Google Earth doesn't do knots as far as I can see!
