Pilots find their way in airspace thanks to virtual points, which are represented as geographical coordinates. These waypoints appear on aeronautical charts and give structure to airspace. (– Airspace, Airway, Slot, Reporting Point)

A predetermined geographical position used for route/instrument approach definition, or progress reporting purposes, that is defined relative to a VORTAC station or in terms as latitude/longitude coordinates.

i) A stopping place, esp. on a journey, ii) the computer-checked coordinates of each stage of a sea journey, flight, etc. (attrib.: waypoint navigation facility).

a destination for your sub

a fixed location with a specified longitude and latitude and UTM coordinates, which is maintained by a global positioning system ( GPS )

a location along the route where a direction change takes place

an address book entry with a set location

an invisible object that is placed in an area to mark a specific location

a point along a path

a position determined either by Latitude/Longitude or Radial and distance from a VORTAC or VOR/DME station

a position you have marked as being part of your journey

a single UTM point (an Easting and a Northing) that you can store in your GPS unit memory

a singular location

a specific location that an observer believes may have significant geographical value

a specific point (longitude and latitude) that you have stored in memory

a specific point on the earth with known coordinates (longitude and latitude)

GPS coordinates for a place. Waypoints (Wpt.) can be recorded on the trail with a hand-help GPS unit, read from a map, or downloaded from the Internet.

in a GPS, a waypoint represents the x,y coordinates of the location being geocoded.

Location, spot, or destination (latitude/longitude) that can be stored in memory to be recalled and used at a later time for navigation purposes. Simply think of it as an electronic address.

Waypoints are named coordinates representing points on the surface of the Earth. Geocaching uses a suggested waypoint for a cache, created automatically when a cache has been created. Because most GPS units have restricted names to 6 characters or less, we generate a waypoint name based on the ID of the cache. It is optional, but makes it easier to locate a cache on the geocaching web site.

A specific location as defined by GPS, the Global Positioning System.

A specified geographical location, defined by longitude and latitude, that is used in the definition of routes and terminal segments and for progress-reporting purposes. abbreviation: WP Fr: point de cheminement

a position entered into a GPS plotted from a chart

A predetermined geo-graphical position used for route definition and/or progress reporting purposes that is defined relative to a VORT AC station position.

A navigation fix. Usually a destination or point of reference. Also the name of this website.

The coordinates of a specific location.

An arbitrary position used in navigation.

A location designated by a set of coordinates and stored in a G.P.S. receiver to be later used as a GOTO destination or as part of a route.

Waypoints are named coordinates representing points on the surface of the Earth. Geocaching uses a suggested waypoint for a cache. Because most GPS units have restricted names to 6 characters or less, it makes sense that waypoint name based on the ID of the cache is created with each cache.

A permanently stored and named position in the GPS receiver's memory.

Commonly used in navigation. There are several points. An aircraft flies from one to another toward a final destination or target.

Location given by latitude and longitude references.

Coordinates of a location stored in a GPS receivers memory. Waypoints may be your present position or coordinated stored prior to your journey. These points may be check points along a route, land marks, ground features or any location you may later want to return to. Waypoint can be defined and manually stored into a GPS receiver using coordinates from a map or other form of reference. Waypoints can also be stored directly by taking a reading at the desired location of the unit and then saving the coordinated in the receiver. A previously stored waypoint may also be referenced to store a new waypoint.

Waypoints are named coordinates representing points on the surface of the Earth. Usually used for setting out a route or to indicate a favorite spot. Commonly used with GPS.

A navigational fix; usually a destination or point of reference

A waypoint is a reference point in physical space that used for purposes of navigation.
