Hi Agentmancuso, Thanks for the reply, though is there any chance you can provide a text/plain version of your email to avoid the eye watering HTML please?

The tagging information from the Wiki gives tpuk_ref as an appropriate tag for the waypoint number and I simply wished to provide as much accurate tagging as possible. If the waypoint is a random number as you suggest then I agree it has no value for the map, but someone clearly felt it valuable enough to create a tag for it. If the waypoint is created by the folks from T:UK, am I at least free to choose whether or not to include it in my tagging of trig points?
