WHAT ARE WAYPOINTS AND HOW DO I USE THEM?
As it relates to GPS and GPS units, a ‘waypoint’ is a fixed navigation position set by the GPS user. Waypoints can be destinations (alpine lakes, mountain summits, hidden fishing spots) or reference points along a trail, road, and body of water. Most handheld GPS units will give you the ability to mark waypoints with a simple one-touch application, and you would then enter a brief description of the waypoint itself (example: Lost Palms Oasis).
