Description
## New Feature
It would be great to have the ability to create a 3D polyline using latitude, longitude, and altitude (MSL). This would let us display flight tracks in 3D, making it easier to visualize paths with elevation changes, like when tracking flights or other altitude-related data.
Is there any way to do this currently?
## Why
Being able to see flight paths in 3D gives a clearer view of altitude changes and how they affect the route. It's especially useful for aviation and tracking any data where altitude matters.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying the existing polyline API and how coordinates are represented, then clarify the supported altitude and 3D rendering behavior; done requires an agreed API and validated flight-track visualization.
