Looks to me we have two objectives coverd by the posts "An alternate turnpoint while running a task":
1. In the original post by Robert Hart the request was for an overflown point to be recorded as a turnpoint that would mark landable area behind when flying forward into unlandable territory. We already have a Mark function, a simple option to record the mark as a thermal or landing field would satisfy this requirement. An additional option could allow the selected point to be assigned to ALT1 or ALT2. Per Ramy's post the selection needs to be frozen and not overridden by XCSoar. 2. The second post by Horst Rupp et al asks for something quite different, i.e. the ability to pass on position reports in relation to any waypoint in the data base. I see two ways to accomplish this task by adapting current features: (i) Tapping on a waypoint will bring up a dialog box that contains a Details button. tapping the Details button will display position data relative to the glider's current position (Bearing and distance). (ii) The above is not useful if one cannot locate the waypoint on the screen, however gesture letter L will bring up a list of waypoints. Selecting the desired waypoint will give the same information as above. Only other addition would be to display the reciprocal bearing to be able to pass on one's position in relation to the position of the receiver of the position report.
