Does anyone know of a free flight planning service that does a good job of taking into account altitude and elevation of the terrain? I am planning a flight from KCHD (Chandler, AZ) to KCDC (Cedar City, UT). There is quite a bit of terrain. There are some 12k+ mountains to deal with and I'll be crossing the grand canyon. I use Garmin Pilot (but not the terrain feature), and Skyvector for the planning. It would be a really nice feature to be able to enter an altitude and then have a plot showing me what my AGL will be throughout the flight. So, two questions.
1) Does anyone use the garmin pilot terrain feature? Is it worth $50 a year for a weekend warrior pilot that just flies two times a month?
2) Are there any other free (or inexpensive) services that do a good job of this?
