I am running SD 2.4 on an iPad.

When I plan a route using reporting points on the map I don't see their name in the flight plan but only their coordinates. So, e.g., the waypoint "RADLY" shows only up with coordinates. This is unusual and not very friendly for the folk at ATC. Also, it makes it difficult for me to read the flight plan.

My suggestion: use the waypoint name in the flightplan in place of the coordinates.

Thanks, -- Chris.

I do not think any harm could be done by using geographical location names, Visual Reporting Points etc. to describe a routing for a VFR flight plan, especially with these waypoints showing on the Pilot's Log. As long as waypoints are specific, there should not be a problem.

I suggest to use the same waypoint names as in the pilot's log, with the coordinates in brackets following each waypoint. For example: DCT PE1(4533N01353E). That's specific, helpful to the ATS units coordinating the flight, and precise for SAR if a need arises.
