Does it matter? If you have one giant list you have to edit it anyway
to get it down to the places you use at any given site.
If doing a badge, record or contest flight as long as you go to the
actual declared place (use the same list for the declaration and the
nav database) and have at least one GPS fix in sector you are OK.
It simply doesn't even matter if the turnpoint is displaced from the
physical feature with GPS flight recording. We could save a lot of
anxiety by simply using a half degree grid of lat and long over the
soaring areas. Goes even more so for AAT where you don't even go to a
specific place anyway. Don't get me started on the stupidity of the
current rules for the "girly men" task though.

Just to get those going who aren't gliding this weekend what are we
or the GFA doing/have done about producing a harmonised turn point
list for the whole of Australia? Eg Tocumwal uses Burrumbuttock and
so does Temora and Benalla and Burrumbuttock turns out to be in
three different places, albeit not by much. The UK has had a
national harmonised list for years, why cant we??
