Feature Request - Draw Shadow on Ground for KML Output

Hi there,

I kindly request re-consideration of an additional feature in KML output - Draw Shadow on Ground. The output from GPS Visualizer looks like this (and has a checkbox in Track options to select). This feature would help markedly in GPSBabel.

Thanks for your time.

There's been one other request for this. Turns out it was from you. :-) I really have to focus my development time on features that affect large numbers of users. The alternatives I gave you then are still available.

If what you actually isn't really a shadow, but the same linestring clamped to ground and with a different color, contact me for a custom development quote.
