Beer cans grew out of the use of the early GPS systems that were unable to accept the programming of a sector based 'observation zone'. The really silly thing is that now the technology has caught up we have just embedded the beercan more firmly in the rules. Beer can turnpoints were already in use the USA long before GPS came along, when we were using cameras in our contests. It was not a new invention, as least for us. It was much easier to use (pilots and photo interpertation) than the 90 degree sector with cameras and GPS. -- ----- change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA
