Title: MD: mislabeled waypoint "MD 286" at MD 268 on MD 279 in Elkton
Post by: dave1693 on July 05, 2022, 03:03:06 pm

In the HB listing for MD 279, there is a waypoint marked "MD 286". The waypoint is mislabeled, as that's the north terminus of MD 268. The pointer is correct -- the pointer itself is called MD 268 and goes to the MD 268 file -- it's just the name of the waypoint that's incorrect.

(And now I am being bombarded with memories of programming language design classes in senior year and gradskool. What the thing is, what the thing is called, what the name of the thing is, what the name is called, how these can all differ...)

Good catch.

Re: "the pointer", those are auto-generated based on database lookups for points on other routes that have identical lat/lon, so for that to be wrong in the same way as the waypoint label we'd have to have misnamed the MD 268 route itself. The more likely error is for it to simply be missing if the lat/lon of the corresponding points on the two routes are not synced.
