I only spotted this today. Good work, OP! ^

I'm sorry about the URL issue. As DeepUnderground rightly pointed out I changed the syntax of the URL in the latest update. This was done to make it possible to link to a map with specific settings like this: Globe view of SYD-AKL-EZE with yellow route lines

Unfortunately, this means some old links no longer work. Sorry about that.

Oh, so now I can link/bookmark with units, too - great!

Missed 'globe', great, too. Thanks.

Right! It was a bit annoying to have to change settings everytime you open up the website.

Great tool, thanks OP!

The 3D display is fantastic. Now I can see the perfect great circles:

thanks so much.
You have made a great program.

Thank you for giving the options of both a globe (since great circle routes doesn't seem logical until looked at on a globe) and nautical miles.

I know we use statue miles for FFP, but it's nice having options.

Thanks guys, I'm really glad to hear that you like it!

I think it is great, can I make a few small suggestions/requests?

1. Would it be possible to save/export the output?
2. Would it be possible to somehow add numbering of flights, so for example if one has flown XXX-YYY five times on a map, there is a small "5" on the route line to denote that?
Thanks

1. To save the output as an image you can (1) click the fullscreen button to remove the sidemenu, (2) disable the "show buttons" toggle under the settings menu, (3) put your browser in full screen mode (f11 in Chrome) and then take a screenshot. It's overcomplicated I know. I would love to have an "export as image"-button but unfortunately Google maps api doesn't allow a simple export option.

2. I can see how this change would be preferable for some, but I'm not sure that all users would like it better. I can't defend putting in the time it would take to implement it.
