Creating and Editing Waypoints

A waypoint is any point on the Graphic Map that you
store in memory. Waypoints are also known as "My
Locations" or "Favorites" in some GPS Units. You can
easily create waypoints in MapSource and then transfer
them to your GPS unit. You can also load waypoints
from your GPS unit into MapSource and then edit
them. To send and receive information from your GPS
unit, see page 12.

Creating Waypoints

When you create a waypoint, MapSource automatically
names the waypoint based on its location. If you create
a waypoint on an existing map feature, MapSource
bases the waypoint name on the feature. If you create
a waypoint on an open location, MapSource names the
waypoint with a number. Each waypoint you create
appears in the Waypoints tab on the left side of
the window.
