I filed to a lat/long once. They accepted my flight plan, but when the
controller gave me my clearance, he did not know how to call out my
waypoint. This, as well as some other reasons (the way ATC writes the
lat/long is NOT easy to read), are why ATC is not big on lat/longs. I
have had better luck with VOR/DME's.

It just occurred to me that when I list a Radial/Distance point in
DUATS as part of a route, DUATS converts it to Lat/Lon. Maybe that's a hint
that Lat/Lon is preferred.
