[BaseCamp] does BC adjust lat/lon for a moved waypoint?

[Stephen!]

Depending on the format you use to display your position it could take quite a fair sized move to make the number change...



-- 
One mile of road will take you one mile.
One mile of runway will take you anywhere.

Well, I tried you method -- and you are right, BC does change the lat/lon
coordinates when you move the waypoint.  So, after scratching my head over
why your way works and mine didn't, I decided to try my method again.
Interesting results this time.  It worked.   Hmmmm.   So, BC will
automatically changed the lat/lon coordinates when you move a point.  (Now
it's going to drive me mad trying to figure why it didn't work the first
couple times I did it earlier today.  I'm runing the computer off and going
for a ride)

Thanks,  Joe
