    Waypoint numbering

    Why so the waypoint not numbered consecutively? My way point are numbered several number apart. Like #50 then my next point late that day was 71. Why does this happen?

    Wayne will probably be around shortly with the right answer. If I remember correctly, it will number them consecutively but if you delete any waypoints it will pick up from the latest number. Have you deleted waypoints 51-70?

    That is correct, and it's more than that. If you rename them, you still don't get the deleted numbers back. You can delete all of them and the next one will be the next highest number than the last one you marked. I get some Spotlock waypoint numbers that don't make any sense and are over 1000 and I have never had that many waypoints.

    Have not deleted any. The 50-71 was the same day and two marks in a row.

    I don’t like the number system either, I just rename them.
