Add Waypoint to Route Command

The Add Waypoint to Route command adds waypoints, selected from the map or from the Waypoint List, to a route. You can also create routes by using the Route Tool to draw the route graphically on the map.

You can use the Add Waypoint to Route command in one of three ways:

To add waypoints to a route on the map
To add waypoints from the Waypoint List to a route
To insert a waypoint into the Route Waypoint List

Then, do one of the following:
- On the Waypoint menu, click Add Waypoint to Route.
