• Virtual Mark rounding
  With respect to the 5 decimal places, I asked Stan Honey for his opinion. Here is his reply:
  "In my view, a waypoint defined by coordinates is mathematically a zero dimensional point.  It is a location with no physical size.  I don’t think it should matter whether it is defined in the SIs as 38 00.00000N 122 00.00000W, or 38N 122W.  Either way the location is defined exactly and the point has no dimensions and no uncertainty.  Although if folks writing the SIs want to specify the trailing zeros it does no harm but it doesn’t change the location or characteristics of the waypoint.  It still has zero dimensions and is mathematically a point."

  Sorry Paul. Rule 17 says “while they remain on the same tack and overlapped within that distance” so Nick was right in #3
