Great Circle routes

[Kritou]

For some time now I have been following on PE the route taken when a passenger on aircraft flights. On an iPad with a BadElf BT GPS/Datalogger this has provided much needed relief from boredom

I would now like to download the data for more detailed (smaller scale) mapping and it seems to me that I have to first define a route. Knowing the approximate path the aircraft will take it would seem that creating a GC route would be the easiest and most appropriate idea

The above mentioned GPS works very well if positioned near a window and I am now looking for a method of attaching it to the plastic inner screen of a typical window – some sort of sucker arrangement would seem to be best

Any thoughts on either or both the above?
