When the user clicks on the plane, the path that this particular plane has taken is printed on the map. The color of the trail behind the plane differs depending on the altitude the aircraft had at that position. Below an explanation of the trail colors.

The numbers are in meters. If the plane is below 100 meters in altitud, the trails will be white.
