Currently when calculating the distance of a flight, the distance between each two GPS fixes are calculated and added together. This means whatever time you spend circling is counted as distance covered - which is inaccurate in most people's estimation.
So remove thermalling sequences from the calculation by substituting a single straight line between the first and last fixes in the thermal.
