Figure 1 In Figure 1 we see the current altitude (at 12 minutes) is 15 meters. This is reflected in the scatter diagram and is also reflected in the simulated location information that we’re using to simulate the flight of our simulated helicopter. Setting Up In order to get this to work, we need to be able to obtain the values...
