What is a Waypoint and a Waypoint Collection?

A waypoint is a point defined by geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) and altitude. These points are used by GPS navigation devices and route planners to mark locations we want to highlight on the map, for example: a shelter, a fountain, a forest, a peak, a town...

To facilitate the organisation and management of your waypoints, they are grouped into waypoint collections, which we call 'Waypoint files'. Generally, a waypoint collection includes individual waypoints from the same geographical area. If you wish, you can customise the properties, appearance, and attach files to your waypoints.
