When you're *at* a waypoint, it shouldn't make a difference by which means
you've identified the waypoint. You're there. That's what you report.

As I understand this conversation, it's when you're not at a way point
that
this discussion rears its head.

However, that does beg the question: on an IFR flight, when would you
report
your position while not at a waypoint? I suppose ATC might ask for some
unknown reason (RADAR failure, and shifting into non-RADAR mode,
perhaps?),
but I've never experienced that myself.


We're on an airway in a nonradar environment. The GPS provides no more
information than the more traditional nav gear.
