Waypoint (WPT)

A waypoint is a specific geographic location or position used in navigation, typically identified by its coordinates (latitude and longitude). Waypoints are used to plot a course or route, serving as reference points to help guide the navigation and track progress along the intended route. Waypoints can be physical features such as buoys, landmarks, or virtual points created by GPS coordinates.
