Description

Since Mission Planner only displays in 2D, I find the Elevation Profile essential in the steep terrain that I survey. I would like an option to display the flight profile with reference to AGL. As it is, I need to try to visually subtract the terrain line from the flight planned line and I have a difficult time determining the nearest I will be to the terrain.
I imagine 2 checkboxes that turn either the GE or SRTM data into the X axis.
Another nice touch would be a report of the lowest and highest AGL altitude in the current flight plan.

Thank you for your consideration

Research direction

The payload names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating Mission Planner’s existing Elevation Profile implementation and its GE/SRTM terrain-data handling. Done means the profile can use terrain as the reference for AGL and reports the lowest and highest AGL altitude for the current flight plan.
