Is it possible to download the flight track and import it into Google to view? I saw an article in Flight Training or somewhere else recently and did not know if our iFly supported this. Would be pretty neat to see.

I've been plying with how to do this too. Be nice to know.

This takes a few steps, but could be done. The NMEA logs for your flights are stored on the SD card, so you need to know how to read one of those to do this. Just eject the card & put it in your reader. The logs are stored in the \User\Logs folder. The filename is a date/time stamp from when the iFly was turned on, formatted [year][month][day][hour][minute]. If your software understands NMEA formatted data - you're done, just import the file. Google Earth however does not, so you must first convert it. This is a nifty website that will do just that: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map?outp.... After the file is converted to kml format, you can load it in Google Earth.

Any idea why the flight track appears as 1 altitude?

Does the NMEA log contains only "GPRMC" sentences and not "GPGGA."

Great! Thanks. Will the bug that drops the last few minutes of the track be fixed in version 4? I did get one that recorded the approach and landing recently but 9 out of 10 times that segment (the most interesting to me) is gone.
