Can I add my voice to this request, as I was not aware of this thread. I did also discuss with Tim some months ago that the PLOG within the SD mobile is a very desirable feature and would probably answer a lot of pilots prayers. This would include a table with the vertical cells starting with the departure and ending with the arrival airfields. All way points in between are also depicted successively. The horizontal cells would include departure time, ETA to each way point and destination which is updated every few seconds after the flight is commenced. It also includes other very useful information such as leg fuel (as well as running total) leg distance (as well as running total), Leg time (as well as running total), magnetic heading, sunrise and sunset times.This is very useful for destination flying especially when ATC request one's ETA's to a way point (usually followed by 'when you have it please'). The up-to-date answer would be at the pilots finger-tips with no further calculations necessary. The interesting point is that all the information to derive such a log table is already within SD. I would imagine it may also be possible to incorporate the MSA for each leg in the table.
Of course making suggestions is easy but I would imagine all good things take time.
