I've added this to the development tree.   What's the most useful of measure
smaller than a knot?  (For example we go from "kilometers" to "meters" and
"miles" to "feet".)

            <tr><td><b>Distance</b> 3.1 NM </td></tr>
            <tr><td><b>Min Alt</b> 0.000 NM </td></tr>
            <tr><td><b>Max Alt</b> 0.054 NM </td></tr>
            <tr><td><b>Max Speed</b> 34.5 knot </td></tr>
            <tr><td><b>Avg Speed</b> 8.5 knot </td></tr>
            <tr><td><b>Start Time</b> 2008-11-07T09:59:38Z  </td></tr>
            <tr><td><b>End Time</b> 2008-11-07T10:21:44Z  </td></tr>
