In my lofty opinion, great circle mapping would make this a "FlightMemory killer," even if it were really rough (say, plotting four or five intermediate points on routes of more than 5000 km, or something like that).

The great circles don't make much of a difference if you're flying short-hauls or kangaroo routes all the time, but for frequent transpaccers like me they are a must-have.
