Graphical flight tracker on CO.com

A new feature (or it's new to me because I haven't checked flight status on co.com for awhile)...but you now get a graphical flight tracker below the flight information.

I typed in '294' and it still shows you estimated/actual departure/arrival but now underneath that it shows a map of the US with the projected flight route and where the plane currently is located.

The page still does not auto refresh.

The graphical tracker does give info for international flights as well - though a bit ugly. I put in CO9 (EWR-NRT) and it shows the entire world in that small box w/ the flight plan.

It only appears to give the graphical tracker when the plane is in the air. It does not give projected flight paths for planes that have not departed yet (probably a good idea).

Interesting new feature.
