Exactly correct Ron. But we want them to be cheap too so there eventually
will be a compromise somewhere.
I am not justifying the GPS mfrs simply discussing why the number/TP name
system works well for Competitions. It removes ambiguity.

Oh Mike, the probability for error goes through the roof when you have to
enter the actual Lat and Long of the turn points. I think you must have your
tongue firmly planted in your cheek on that answer. LOL

Good luck to all the pilots flying in the WA State Comps at Beverley in WA.
28 gliders flying in one class. Good to see gliding in WA is going strong.

My understanding was that the official turn point list was now the file
supplied by the organisers anyway. This is usually a small subset of the local
database without points close together.
Even with a lack of multiple points in the same location, there is scope for
confusion. I am aware of so
Dear Matt,
COONAM IS different from COONAB.
I use a volkslogger so I know.

Ross,
The term "reactionary" is used by communists and
fellow travellers to deride those who oppose
their ghastly, evil and murderous plans for humanity.
"liberalism" has so many meanings as to be
useless. Classical liberalism is not what you might think it is.
"progress" is a perversion of t
