Yes it's a possibility to estimate future trajectory.

I use Unity that is a powerfull 3d engine, and good to for 2D.
And there are interesting possibility using 3D for 2D.

The system don't know what is the ground type it just know lat,long and
size of plane, then upload the map on map provider.
Mercator system is used (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259689.aspx), and choise the good
3d plane to display depending of camera frustrum and distance from plane.

"Waiting for review" means that apple must validate (or not) app before she
exist... :)

How fast is your code?
3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
Find out how slow your code is with AppDynamics Lite.
