How do those look

Lookin' good mate one thing though, re yellow highlight above, how is the max error scaled, 0% at 0hr(since last fix), 50% at 12hrs etc? If it was scaled with distance travelled instead I.e. 0% @ 0km, 50% @ 50km etc it would make more sense. If you don't move then your next dead reckoning error should be 0. Of course I realise this involves more math to find the distance between fixes (or more correctly between real locations at time of fixes) and may be more trouble than it is worth. Also, can the scale exend the maximum error? - 500% @ 500km
