Waypoints
Waypoints are the key to navigating and creating routes. An understanding of waypoints and their use
is important to get the most out of your Magellan Triton.
is important to get the most out of your Magellan Triton.
In its simplest form, a waypoint is a point on the map. The Magellan Triton uses waypoints much the
same as you use addresses to get from your home to your destination. With information on where you
are and a waypoint of where you want to go, the Triton can provide the necessary information to get
you there.

The Magellan Triton has three different classifications for waypoints; User-Created, Place and
Geocache waypoints.
Geocache waypoints.
User-created waypoints are waypoints you define. This can be done by saving your current
location, picking a point on the map or by entering waypoint coordinates.

Place waypoints are waypoints that have been preloaded into the base map or one of the optional
detail maps. You cannot add Place waypoints but you can use them when creating a route.

Geocache waypoints are special waypoints that are used for geocaching. More information on
geocache waypoints can be found in the chapter on geocaching, but they are used the same as
user-created and place waypoints in creating a route.

The Magellan Triton automatically assigns a name for the waypoint using
the convention of WPxxxx for newly created waypoints. It is a good
practice, and will avoid confusion later, if you enter a unique name for
each waypoint.
