General Routing Algorithm

After entering an origin and destination, the program finds a list of appropriate airports and cities along the route that could serve as visual waypoints. These are ranked based on the facility type and deviation from course and then organized into a route. A 2D terrain map is also generated for the trip for use in automatically selecting a cruising altitude.

Currently, a user enters a cruising speed, however, individual plane types would allow incorporation of specific climb, descent, and cruise data.
