Exactly, that's supposed to come from pings off satellites IIRC. The red line is the planes path, the black lines are flight routes and the little triangles are waypoints.
There's also other reports that supposedly involve the planes altitude, saying that after the transponder stopping it shot up to 45,000 (41,500 is supposed to be the max a pilot is allowed to take it to) briefly and turned around, then dropped down to 30,000 or something, stayed there for a while, then dropped to 23,000 for a bit followed by a jump back up. But according to some pilots the rates of change sounded outside the realm of possibility for the airframe.
(apologies for the inaccuracies of the above, I'm running off of memory here, the page where I read that is open on a different PC)
