I know what I'll do - I'll provide sync the other way round - instead of selecting a marker and playing the sound track until it aligns, you'd play the sound track until the trace marker reaches your landmark, then you say synchronise. You don't even need to record anything significant on the soundtrack to identify the landmark. The main thing would be user understanding of what the difference is between "sync audio to marker" and "sync location to audio". I think what I might do is have a single sync, but let you choose in the preferences which way round you want it to behave. (Or I could do one if the audio markers were sampled and another if they came from genuine waypoints - though I think the new kind of sync is useful there as well).
