Hello SD team,

For the airfield Cuers Pierrefeu (LFTF), the description of the VFR report point CO is incomplete: you have just written "Carrefour" (which means crossroads). The full description in the Visual Approach Chart is:
- "Collobrieres Carreffour 1 NM W du village"
- or "Collobrieres Crossroads 1NM W of village"
Note that, in the official document in this description, the name of the village is wrong: the grave accent on the first 'e' is missing.

In summary, the full description sould be:
- in French, "Collobrières Carreffour 1 NM W du village"
- or, in English, "Collobrières Crossroads 1NM W of village"

We truncate many VRP names in France due to the fact there simply isn't room to display them on the chart at the zoom levels people are usually using. This is a deliberate decision on our part.

I understand the lack of characters, but the current description is useless, because there are many crossroads and I do not know where to search it.
"1 NM W de Collobrières" or "1 NM W of Collobrières" is more meaningful.
Could you please review whether we can use the complete description ? Otherwise, is it possible to use a more meaningful description, e.g. the one above ?

I would argue that you do not really need a description at all. You're looking at them in a GPS map, after all. You know exactly where they are compared to your current position.

How do they show up on a 1:500k printed chart in France?

In that case, we are pretty happy with the way we currently display these VRPs and in our opinion it is far from "useless" as you state above, to have a VRP shown exactly where it is relative to yourself on a GPS map.
