Flight 234306.
FP: NEVRA UG33 KOROS UN133 EVIVI L863 OKANA UL863 RAVAK UL617 PARAK DCT BALUX DCT TORNO DCT NATEX

The flightplan contains a waypoint called TORNO that is duplicate and exist both NW of Budapest and where Uganda is, close to equator. For some reason ACARS picked that one to draw on the map.

How is acars handling duplicate enroute fixes in flight parsing?

Theoretically its selecting the one closest to the previous waypoint, however in practice sometimes this is not happening correctly..
