Our local sea conditions change rapidly. Frequently, the scheduled dive site is altered an hour before the boat leaves. Or a boat is cancelled because not enough people booked onto it. Either way, much of the time we end up diving a different site than what we planned when we left home. Now our original plan isn't valid anymore. So, it would be a killer app feature from my point of view too. In fact, I've been considering paying for a commercial app that does this. > > Excellent.

It would be great if someone can implement it. And thanks Anton for volunteering. But I agree the focus should be getting a working and tested Subsurface app first. Cheers, Rick
