It may not :-(  Since the windows version of software is generally 
better than the linux version, I kind of assumed that there was topo 
info there.

I want GE to show me the speed at every point, which requires a .gpx 
file.  To get the points and labels small enough to not block things, 
the directional points turn to unhelpful squares.  Perhaps the paid 
version is better, but

I don't know, I just about never shut off the network on my desktop. 
The android version of GE is less than satisfactory.

I hope somebody answers.
