Working with Waypoints Understanding Waypoints A waypoint is a location that you mark on the map. It can be an address, an intersection, an existing map feature or point of interest, an empty spot on the map, or any other point you wish. You can use waypoints to mark your favorite places, like your favorite restaurant, a friend's house, etc. You can mark waypoints directly on the map or by using the Find feature. nRoute allows you to set your waypoint preferences to change the default method for displaying waypoints. Waypoints are shown on the map and in the Waypoints Tab at the bottom of the screen. Select a waypoint in the Waypoints Tab to highlight the waypoint on the Graphic Map. You can edit waypoint properties after they have been marked. You can select multiple waypoints in the Waypoints Tab and view or change their properties as a group.
