Depends on the device and how the database is organised and how you
choose turnpoints.
How is having a name instead of a number likely to lead to more
confusion in the official contest turnpoint database or which
turnpoint has been set?
Presumably the names are spelled correctly and the coordinates
supplied by the organisers.

From a competitor's point of view the new turnpoint naming
convention of number/name is great as it avoids any possible
confusion regarding which turnpoint has been set for the task. Also
makes it much easier to input the task accurately into the
logger/flight computer/gps whatever. Similarly, in the air they are
really much easier and faster to use.

The names are a combined number and name, not just a number.

With the added advantage that casual visitors to the contest have no
idea where the task is for the day :-)

Hi Ron, apparently it was requested by the pilots at a recent nats
pilot meeting (maybe Benalla) and is now in the guidelines. Makes
inputting tasks to a device easier.
