Scenario 3: The pilot makes a mistake enroute, and would like to "back up" a few miles and try it again. In this case it is particularly valuable to define the reference point as an offset relative to "here" i.e. relative to the aircraft's present position. | '''Scenario 3''': The pilot makes a mistake enroute, and would like to "back up" a few miles and try it again.
