By the way... an even slicker tool ( appears to be the cloudahoy app for iPad and iPhone) for viewing past flights in 3D , along with displaying speed and other pilot relevant data while reviewing the flight, etc.,. I haven't tried it, but the demo visualization is impressive. Unlike the GPSvisualizer, this one is designed specifically for pilots. Only catches AFAIK are it works on on iPad and iPhone and after the first 35 days it's $65 per year to use.
Here's the maker's sales pitch, FWIW:
"CloudAhoy is for pilots’ post-flight debriefing. Data is logged during flight, and the post-flight service provides a comprehensive debriefing: VFR and IFR, with 2D or 3D flight tracks, profiles, wind, maneuver analysis, instrument approaches, video and more. Flight logging, listing and viewing is free. Debriefing service is free for 35-days, then it is $64.99/year."
