Presumably the turnpoint comes with the lat and
long on the official list. That removes any ambiguity.
So, no, you don't have a point in the days of GPS and databases.

Depends on the device and how the database is
organised and how you choose turnpoints.
How is having a name instead of a number likely
to lead to more confusion in the official
contest turnpoint database or which turnpoint has been set?
Presumably the names are spelled correctly and
the coordinates supplied by the organisers.

From a competitor's point of view the new
turnpoint naming convention of number/name is
great as it avoids any possible confusion
regarding which turnpoint has been set for the
task. Also makes it much easier to input the
task accurately into the logger/flight
computer/gps whatever. Similarly, in the air
they are really much easier and faster to use.

The names are a combined number and name, not just a number.

With the added advantage that casual visitors to

Hi Ron, apparently it was requested by the
pilots at a recent nats pilot meeting (maybe
Benalla) and is now in the guidelines. Makes
inputting tasks to a device easier.
