Routes, Tracks & Waypoints
Waypoints
Waypoints are single saved locations such as summits, car parks, meeting points, or anything else you want to mark on the map.
Add A Waypoint
The confirmed map action is Add Waypoint.
- Open the map at the location you want to save.
- Open the map action menu.
- Choose Add Waypoint.
- Check the saved point in Routes, Tracks & Waypoints.
When another tool shows Add Waypoint, such as a grid reference, latitude and longitude, or a search result with a valid location, use that action to save the location as a waypoint.
Where Waypoints Go
If there is not already a Waypoints folder, OMN4 creates one. New map waypoints are stored in a date-named waypoint group so recent points are easy to find.
Use Waypoints
Waypoints can be:
- shown on the map
- organised into folders
- exported or shared in GPX
- synced to your other OMN4 devices
Tips
- Give important waypoints clear names before you build a large collection.
- If you are using coordinates or grid references to add waypoints, double-check the location before you save.
- Use folders when you want to keep trip waypoints separate from general reference points.
