That is not logical; Kismac knows where I am from my GPS reading. The
prove of that is Kismac loading the appropriate map from the server
showing my position approximately in the middle of the map.
When downloading, I tell Kismac what scale to use (both in pixels and
in zooming), so Kismac has all the ingredients there to know exactly
where I am and where I go and the map size for calibration. No second
waypoint is needed. I am strengthened in this opinion by a recent
message of Mick telling that, when you don't use a GPS device, you
only enter one waypoint in server maps.
The second waypoint in scanned maps is only to determine the scale of
the map. That is (or could have been) done automatically from the
scale you enter in preferred download size at the mapserver download.
Where am I missing something?
