I don't mind info controls at all, like many others, I prefer them to be things you can remember from a ride past, like the age of a pub etc that you can then write down again convenient point. Locating them at natural pauses like a village green or a junction would also get my vote.
What I dislike is innacuracy in location, for example info control being a pub name at 34km, it was actually at31 km, so I rode straight past not looking for it and had nothing when I actually got to the distance.
It doesn't matter that I don't have the info, but it can have you questioning whether you are on route or not.
