Create and Edit Waypoints in the App

This article will show you how to create a new waypoint or edit an existing one. Waypoints can mark your current location, or can be added anywhere on the map. You can also add a waypoint to search coordinates. Learn how here. 

Note: You can create a waypoint while recording a track and it will be linked to that track. If the recording is paused, it will not link to the track.
