But don't we now fly to GPS co-ordinates rather than physical landmarks? I
thought physical landmarks went the way of the turn-point camera - even though
they are my preference.

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.
