Elevations View Path KML

A key element in the usefulness of a map is the ability to trace or retrace a rout or path on the map.

Today we add the ability to read coordinates from KML files.

Some KML files we have received so far just contain list of latitude and longitude coordinates. So you can vie the routes in 3D, we added the ability to find the intersection point of every 2D way point with the 3D landscape and update the route accordingly.

Currently the transformation is occurring each time the map is loaded and can take 15 to 20 seconds. This will be fixed so maps can load near instantly. And when a new transformation occurs there will be feedback as to how things are progressing.

And of course there will be many ways of exploring the route using different camera contollers
