Following on from my last post.

Sorry if there is an easier way of doing this...

I'm just having a play with Geocaching at the moment (kind of like Treasure Hunts with GPS if you didn't know).

They often seem to require you to enter GPS coordinates in the field (for example, you find a location, then some numbers at that location will give you the next location). I can create a waypoint on the fly by creating a new Waypoint 'At my current location' on the track screen, then going to the waypoints screen, and editing the Lat/Long to the required one.

Is there (or could you create) a way of entering a new waypoint with user-specified coordinates??

Yes, it is a bit fiddly at the moment - I meant to improve this in the current release but didn't get round to it. Its fixed for the next version though...

Cheers!
