Thank you very much guys. That is just what I was after. Tried it in Sim mode
and it looks great. Now if I could just read that screen a bit easier my
problems would be halved :-)

In WinPilot Advanced, go to MENU/EDIT. From there, you can assign MARK
POSITION to one of the front buttons.

I am using WinPilot Advanced and wondered if it is possible to mark a
thermal
waypoint on the fly. Reason I ask is that in a recent contest I flew
through a
good thermal a few miles from the next turnpoint. I made the turnpoint and
thought I had flown back to where the lift was. Checking my igc file I see
I
was a long way off. If I could have marked the good spot (blue thermal)
before
hitting the TP I might not have ended up in a paddock.

I know about the Thermal database feature but I want something like the
"Man
Overboard" feature on some Garmin type GPS units.
