ForeFlight, great circle, no rhumb lines

Wow! ForeFlight has eliminated rhumb lines from all projections! The only curve is the earth's surface, which can be clearly seen with a great circle slice looking sideways!

Now if someone is bold enough to introduce a decimal coordinate navigation and time system, my complaints will be silenced. Man has 10 fingers and 10 toes (most of the time) not 360 and 24. [-X
