My theory is that I want to KNOW that my beacons are coming a 
specified distance apart on the ground, minus corner pegging, of 
course. I set the corner angle pretty high - 60 degrees, usually - 
and my High Speed limit high enough - usually 90mph -  that I'll 
never reach it under normal circumstances. Then it's a matter of 
deciding, based on the kind of trip I'm on, how far apart I want 
those beacons to happen.
