Waypoints can be manually entered by taking coordinates from a map or other reference. Also, waypoints may be entered by marking a point at the current position of the device, or on the map of the device.
waypoints are easier to add in garmin explore app or website (still need the app on your phone). Sync the 6x into a 6x collection. Then you can see the course on explore.garmin.com and you can add waypoints as needed. Course creation on explore is a bit of a mess, but waypoints work the way you'd expect.
my Basecamp 4.6.2 does not allow to transfer waypoints and routes (also no download from device). I do not want to upgrade to Bacecamp 4.7 as some features required for use of openstreemap will then be disabled. Is there any other tool?
I create waypoints with Garmin Explore and transfer them to my F6xPS - or I use sendpoints app for that ( for a single waypoint). I create courses/routes with maps 3D pro and transfer them to Explore and with Explore to my device. Unfortunately Explore itself can only create direct routes.
