No excuse...
I agree its not the most user friendly system, but depending upon what I'm doing that day I either just use a point brief (25 miles) or a narrow route brief....both of which are saved in my briefing handbook.
By doing it myself, I can know what, if anything, awaits my students or hirer that wants to discuss them. I will often 'red pin' the wall mounted chart so at least people know there is something up...they then have to go find it for themselves.
Never an excuse for not looking...
