Waypoint

A waypoint is a specific location used for navigation, often marked by coordinates or a name. Think of it as a reference point that helps travelers, hikers, pilots, or drivers know where they are or where they need to go. For example, in GPS devices, waypoints guide your route by indicating important stops or landmarks. They are essential for planned journeys, ensuring accurate navigation, especially in unfamiliar areas, by providing precise locations to follow or reach along a route.
