Geolink reading .dl4 saved flight data

In case you would like to see some new feature in the software you can share it right here!

As I'm starting some acrobatic flight I 'd like to examin the trajectories followed by my heli and recorded by Geolink.
To this aim I have two requests/wishes:
1) being able to read the .dl4 file to get the position (Lat, Long, Height) and time (I didn't find any software for doing that)
2) as the data are recorded once a second and this is too slow for acro, it would be necessary to switch to say 0.1sec sampling time. I understand that woud fill the
on-board memory quickly but recoding 5 minutes instead of one hour of flights would be more than enough.
At least 1) should be easy as the log viewer already does read and display 2D trajectories (while I would do 3D plots)
Many thanks

For point 1) as I have some software knowledge, I could try and write the code for reading the .dl4 files by myself,
but I need the specification of how the files are written, order and length of fields etc.
Thomas, could you provide the info or, at least, give a reference where I can find it?Thanks in advance.
