Yup, I see the exact same thing happening. I high-jacked your call and
set myself up at your location, and pulled the last 120 hours.

The course and speed information changes, but the icon stays in the
same location.

Perhaps I never have pulled in a trail for the current callsign.

Curt, is there a way to go out and grab a history for your current
callsign? I could see a reason for doing so. If I was out on a balloon
chase, and the computer died, after restarting, it would be nice to be
able to grab the historical track to reload back into the map display.
