Also, do you calculate the route with a computer or there's some official route plan for the flights? Do you have data on the planned flight altitude of the flights as well?
The routes displayed in Airline Route Mapper are straight-lines between two airports. They are not actual flight paths and do not include other flight plan data such as altitude.

It does include operating equipment information though.
