The function of a Waypoint is to check ones position, either visually or by means of radio aids. With the advent of GPS we know exactly where we are all the time, so why do we still require Waypoints?. .. .Is it that we have not updated our thinking in line with the technology currently available?. .. .There are countless books defining waypoints to within a few feet, what possible use are they? We are not on a bombing mission!
