Agree with HD to a certain extent. If you are allocated a specific squawk or give me a ROUGH position I can place the rolling ball over your return and that will automatically give me a LAT/LONG.Useful for sending the emergency services and in that case better than a vague 3 miles south of Ballgobackwards....of course they could just look for the smoke if there was any!!
