To edit a waypoint—either name, short name, latitude or longitude—
simply click in the box where you wish to make the change and then use
the computer's keyboard. To enter a new waypoint click in the left hand
column (the cursor will change to an arrow) on the row where you want
to insert the new waypoint and then click
new
from the bottom left of
the window. A new waypoint with the name 't' will be created; edit name
or position as above. Names and positions can also be cut and pasted in
the same way.
Note.
Positions are in the form: degrees, minutes and decimals of
minutes. As always, positive values are North and East; negative are
South and West.
