Narrative:

Uret and strips are same; however; when you do a flight plan readout on the radar scope; the route of flight was pdk..eaone..elw..ukf; very misleading and if used for separation; this is about a 40 degree left turn from elw to ukf; and if the aircraft proceeds to spa instead; as this one did; this can become very unsafe.
