10. Waypoint
Waypoints are geographical references along a route that can be created at will and used for orientation during a trip
towards a destination, or inserted as points in an AutoRoute. You can do many things with waypoints, for example giving
them names to easily remember them, or adding them to a route. MAP 600 can save up to 1000 waypoints for individual
use or along a route. For further details, please refer to Chapt. 11.
