I see your point which is valid.

Oooups! I hope you have forwarded those to mailto:decosw@th*.co* ?

Baker's algoritm prescribes two 'setpoints' GF Lo and GF Hi and then draws 
a line between these two points. I don't know if you have read the Baker 
article (comes with the installation) but to me (and I am not speaking for 
the author!) I wonder if GFs for every waypoint really is necessary. What 
you suggest can be done (fairly) accurately by adjusting the GF Lo and GF 
Hi values.

Or?
