Actually some devices can store names of the way point.
That was not the problem at all. The problem is about offsets and
resultant accuracy of maps.

That might be possible ( if at all ) if I am doing nothing
else but mapping, but not when I am on my morning/evening walk or just
going from one place to another in a vehicle/train/whatever ( and
mapping on the sidelines ) and can't stop to do such measurements.
Plus, what would be the use of such measurements anyway? My concern
with offsets is the accuracy of the resultant map and positions of
waypoints ( shops/schools etc ) on the map.
Cheers!
