Rick,
that is perhaps the most telling argument in favour of NOT using
waypoint lists.
From time to time list members have requested sources for cruising
waypoints.
Only two days ago someone else asked for a web source to which I replied
somewhat sternly that prudent navigators don't do that.
Thanks for a much more compelling argument explaining why.
Cheers
Arild
