How this is tested not supported yet
This tutorial is also an acceptance test. Its report has every step, check and screenshot from the last run.
The user story: As a pilot planning over the hills, I want to plan higher and check the plan against the terrain, so that no waypoint flies the plane into the ground.
When the operator raises the plan altitude When the operator raises the plan altitude Then the plan altitude is 60 m When the operator clicks the map Then the newest waypoint is at the plan altitude When the operator checks the heights against the terrain Then the waypoints are clear of the terrain
