I couldn't find anything about planning to follow a line feature rather than inserting several turning points along the feature. In this case I would like to follow route MIKE from MIKE 2 to MIKE 1, but on other occasions I might like to follow a road or railway etc. Any ideas? Thanks, MA

But they're only one feature, which means the bar isn't yet reached. The alpine GAFOR routes are a contender, but they're a good example of where the pilot almost certainly will NOT actually be following every single curve and meander, and therefore rendering our calculations not very useful.
