Hi all,
I followed along with some of the other members who created DashWare gauges and wanted to try my hand at it as well. Take a look and let me know if these look worthwhile or if there are any confusing parts of it.

I combined data from the SRT logs and from the encrypted text file logs, and I also used elevation data from the Google Maps Elevation API. I plan on doing a post with a better explanation, but for now here are the gauge details:

Flying in Historic Ellicott City, Maryland. Flight path chosen to showcase differing terrain - relative to takeoff and actual above-ground distances.

Terrain charts show relative (from takeoff) and ACTUAL above-ground distances. Data was enriched with elevation data using the Google Maps/Elevation API (6,782 points queried in 2.3 seconds).

== Gauges ==
Horizontal Speedometer (bottom left):
-Range: 0 at bottom; max of 45 listed (MPH)
-Red arc with dark red cap: Shows current realtime horizontal speed
-Dark red thin arc: Average horizontal moving speed (4 second trailing average)
-Yellow cap: Maximum horizontal speed attained so far
-Line chart: Chart of horizontal speed over time
--Red dot: Shows current speed by time

Vertical Speedometer (bottom right):
-Range: 0 at center; 10 top right, -10 bottom left (MPH)
-Green arc with dark green cap: Shows ASCENDING vertical speed
-Dark green thin arc: Average vertical moving speed (4 second trailing average)
-Yellow cap (positive): Maximum ascending vertical speed attained so far
-Red arc with dark red cap: Shows DESCENDING vertical speed
-Dark red thin arc: Average vertical moving speed (4 second trailing average)
-Yellow cap (negative): Maximum descending vertical speed attained so far
-Line chart: Chart of vertical speed (+/-) over time
--Red dot: Shows current speed by time

Dual altitude line chart (center):
-Blue line: RELATIVE height FROM TAKEOFF above ground level (AGL)
-White line: ACTUAL height above ground level (calculated from GPS track points queried for elevation data using Google Maps/Elevation API) values
-Highlighted points tracking both lines show current position on track

GPS satellites used (bottom bar - left):
-Number of GPS satellites seen/used at current point in time
-GPS coordinates (lat/lon decimal degrees) at current point in time

Battery indicator (bottom bar - graphic):
-Battery volume left (filled left-to-right)
-Numerical percentage battery left

Altitude Above Ground Level (AGL - bottom bar - center):
-Alt rel takeoff (ft): Blue shaded - represents the value in the blue line chart
--RELATIVE height FROM TAKEOFF above ground level (AGL)
-Alt AGL (ft): ACTUAL height above ground level - represents the value in the white line chart

Flight time (Bottom bar - middle):
-Duration of flight in minutes

Camera details (Bottom bar - right of camera icon):
-Shutter speed fraction (example: 1/200th of a second)
-Aperture (example: f/2.8 - fixed on DJI Mavic Air 2)
-ISO (example: 100)
-EV (Exposure value - +/- correction from metered level)
-Color temperature (K - Kelvin - example: 5445K)

Track details (top right):
-Track of flight path
--Arrow indicates direction of travel, orientation, and position
-Traveled total (ft): Total track length traveled
-Distance now (ft): Distance from launch point in a straight line
-Time: Time of recording
-Date: Date of recording
 
WELCOME to the forum. Nice gauges :)

Welcome aboard davylam995 and greetings from Albany, NY!?

That video looked really cool, good job with the gauges.
