Now that I have reached 500hrs XC for the purposes of ATP (and I have all my other pilot licenses) I just track point to point. When asked on my ATP 8710 to list my cross country time, I will simply put 500hrs and show the examiner the last page of my >50NM XC column where is says 500hrs and be done with it! Claiming more time that the min requirements is an added bonus where if you lost your logbook, you could retrieve more of your lost time via the 8710, you do not HAVE to put you most up to date times as long as you still meet the min requirements.
