So deltas for acceleration in the image
7/22/10 10:48 AM
TM already shows the line the vehicle followed overlayed on top of GEarth. Even better it shows Green for acceleration and Red for braking.

What would be insanely great would be to somehow show the delta for the acceleration or braking.
How?
1 - Go all 3d, bigger delta higher the peak (difficult and could actually be hard to read on a tight course)
2 - Change pen size - normal pen is 1px by 1px and the biggest pen could be 5px x 5px. Again might not be perfect for tight courses
3 - Color shift. start at a light color and go darker as the delta increases

The benefit of this feature: See how long you are just coasting and where you are actually on 'it'

Good ideas. Trackmaster does show you when you are coasting. If you don't see green or red and just see the blue line, you're coasting which is bad. But 3D visualization is even better emoticon
