The problem is the limitations of the 4 or 5
button interface. The hardware to implement this
is dirt cheap. In general when you have to do
lots of button pushes to change a value(like
selecting a turnpoint from a list) a rotary encoder is a better input device.
The other problem is large
Is that the Rob Duffy I used to be on RAPAC with in South Australia
in the mid 1980s?

The LX8000 etc. all have rotary encoders so selecting, editing,
renaming etc. even in flight, is easy. You can have dozens of waypoint
lists in the device and just select an active one, so almost all your
requirements are met.
The problem I have found with getting lat and long through Google

I think they had it right with the blaniks. I don't think anyone ever had a
turnpoint problem in a blanik.
