* We already record thermals, but there is no GoTo option for them * I guess a button "Convert to Waypoint" for the markers might be a good idea * Where do we save the waypoint? * We would probably need to work on a proper waypoint editor first... > 2.

I don't think that would be useful. I guess it will lead to more confusion instead of helping anyone. > My apologies to Tobias but I can write it faster than I can draw it No problem, these short and precise descriptions are okay too :) Turbo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.
