Surely you would be better positioned than me to follow this up – try persuading those that have used the kit to give us all an explanation – then you will understand, perhaps, just how afraid they are of talking about it.

Perhaps you should search through this thread before reopening issues – unless of course it is your job to help keep the debate going around in circles:
I have addressed the coordinate issue a long time ago – some were just convenient intersections (or, say ½ squares) – the STANS can accept either input (lat/lon or grid) but will keep all those unecessary digits if you change display units.
I believe waypoint A was the only accurate one, possibly remembered coords from previous visits – perhaps you could try and understand by looking at the list of waypoints below:


H N54.47.70 W006.36.00 a field, no specific feature, about 1 km east of a village called Curran, exactly at H 900 950 on Irish grid;
A N55.18.50 W005.48.00 within tens of metres of a known LZ used by large military helicopters, not at intersection of any cardinal grid lines nor a simple fraction thereof;
B N56.43.00 W005.14.00 again a field, no specific feature, about 1 km east of a village called Corran;
C N57.35.02 W004.04.45 100 metre swim to Ft George, exact intersection of two grid lines on an OS map – GB grid NH 760 570;
D N57.32.42 W004.02.92 about middle of Inverness aerodrome, on grid line 52 and half way between 77 & 78, thus NH 775 520
