Here's the flight path I'll use part of (based on weather forecast) in ForeFlight for the total solar eclipse. Did I miss anything you can see? Sure hate to be 50 miles left of course due to a Lat/Long conversion error.
I used the "Central Line" on the NASA Eclipse Page (https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEpath/SEpath2001/SE2017Aug21Tpath.html). Converted it to DD?MM.mm (Degrees Minutes) in the ForeFlight format (https://support.foreflight.com/hc/en-us/articles/204026105-How-do-I-enter-a-latitude-and-longitude-waypoint-). Changed ForeFlight Settings|Units/Time|Latitude/Longitude to DD?MM.mm.
I then emailed the coordinates below to myself so I could easily copy/paste it to ForeFlight's Route. It looks right but I would sure appreciate another set of eyeballs checking me. Of course, feel free to use if you plan to fly the eclipse. I couldn't find this anywhere on the internet.
