From 4e468d6475fedeebd79b9a854377a6b9e0cfd5ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dirk Hohndel Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2014 08:53:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] User manual: gps coordinates are tied to location names While it seems obvious that you need a named dive site in order to track its coordinates, apparently people try to have no location name but distinct coordinates which at this time we do not support.
