Dirk, I don't think you've actually used it, because that is just crap.

The thing is, it absolutely *has* to work with downloading the GPS
coordinates first, because that's often what you use for getting the site
name

I did this last week, and Miika is right, and you are wrong. GPS first,
then naming the dive site. The location you see on the map is what often
reminds you what the site *was*.

The current location management is broken. It was absolutely the worst part
of the Subsurface experience for me last week. It needs to be improved, and
$DEITY needs to be fixed.
