On Land
If you know where you are going and the steps along the way, you can create a route consisting of a number of waypoints, then have Global Navigator direct you along the route, from waypoint to waypoint. Waypoints are created by tapping on the map at the point where you want to stop or change direction. Think of them as rest stops at the end of each leg of a journey.
Figure 12: Editing a waypoint after it’s created by tapping on the map.
Figure 13: By tapping the Edit Location button, you can provide more precise locating info (e.g. if you have exact coordinates).
Alternately, you can use these screens to create waypoints anywhere, as long as you know the coordinates.
To create a route, you specify one of the waypoints as the start and add waypoints until you identify the last one as the end of the route.
