3.49 Chart: Waypoints
Waypoints are virtual locations you mark on your Chart in order to
show favorite, safe or noteworthy locations.
You can use the waypoints to create navigation routes, name a
waypoint, record information about a waypoint, or set conditional
display options. Waypoints are stored in the Waypoints Library.

are also shown. If you change the waypoint's Lat/Long
coordinates, the TDs will be updated. If you change the TD's,
the Lat/Long will be lost.
