They've been made to have a red and white navigation icon, so they really stand out clearly on the screen, and look different to other waypoints you may have.
This file was created from the VFR reporting points PDF file available on the CAA website, available from this page.

Warnings
- The points in this file have not been checked for accuracy.
- The file was generated automatically from the text extracted from the PDF file from CAA on the 16th April 2009.
- As CAA states in the PDF file, "pilots must be careful not to rely on GPS or other GNSS derived positioning to reach visual reporting points due to the elevated risk of encountering other aircraft due to the extreme accuracy of such navigation systems. When approaching visual reporting points, the primary navigation means by VFR pilots should always be by visual reference."
- Do not use this file or these points while flying, always refer to an official Visual Navigation Chart, available for purchase here.
