You know how much I love new options and more buttons. But you are of course
correct in principle :-)

The problem is how else would we do this?
From a workflow perspective... I have a GPS dive computer. I download from it.

un-named dive site with the correct GPS information, shouldn't I? What would be
a better workflow?
