Waypoints

Waypoints are fixed locations on the map, typically used in competitions or for marking important points during a flight.

Adding a Waypoint

There are several ways to add waypoints:

• Long-press on the map at the desired location
• ☰ Menu → Waypoints → add manually with coordinates
• Import from a GPX file (see below)

Waypoint List

Access all waypoints via ☰ Menu → Waypoints. From the list you can:

• Edit a waypoint (name, position)
• Delete individual waypoints
• Delete all waypoints
• Set a waypoint as the reference point

Reference Point

Setting a waypoint as the reference point enables bearing and distance display in the status bar. A bearing line can also be drawn on the map from your position to the reference point.

To set a reference point, long-press a waypoint in the waypoint list.

Bearing Between Waypoints

To see the distance and bearing between two waypoints:

1. Set one waypoint as the reference point
2. Enable the bearing line to another waypoint

This is useful in competitions for calculating distances between targets.
