Projecting a Waypoint from Your Current Location
You can save a new waypoint by projecting the distance from your current location.
For example, if you would like to navigate to a location you observe on the other side of a river or stream, you
can project a waypoint from your current location to the observed location, and then navigate to the new
location after you cross the river or stream.
