User Waypoints
A user waypoint is a method of saving any single point on the map (marking NOCL) for future reference, inclusion in routes, or direct-to operations.
User Waypoints-Touch Planning
While using touch-planning, create your own custom waypoint from a point on the map:
Tap-and-hold the point until a pop-up is displayed.
User Waypoints-Touch Planning
Tap the More button,
Then the Save button to create and name the waypoint, which you’ll be able to use in future routes.
User Waypoints-Touch Planning Create a recognizable
name for the waypoint. Note: Names must be one
word with no spaces and must contain at least one letter.
Once a waypoint has been named, you’ll be able to reference it while creating routes just as you would any other waypoint.
NOTE: “D” and “CAP” are reserved and may not be used as User Waypoint names.
User Waypoints-Touch Planning
Description: Provide a brief description of the waypoint.
The description appears in the waypoint callout when you tap that waypoint in route in the Maps view.
User Waypoints -Touch Planning
Lat/Lon: When creating a user waypoint via touch-planning, the latitude and longitude are determined for you based on the point on the map that you touch.
LAT/LONG can be edited here

creating the user waypoint. Once the waypoint is created,
it functions just as any other waypoint in ForeFlight Mobile.
User Waypoints Finding Waypoints
User waypoints can be Searched by using the Search box at the top of the Maps view.
User Waypoint can be included in a route By entering the name of the user waypoint in the same way you would use any other airport name or navaid when planning via search.
User Waypoints Projecting Waypoints
You can also enter a user waypoint as a distance and radial from an aviation point or a user waypoint
By entering the waypoint / radial / distance information in Latitude and leaving Longitude blank.
User Waypoints Projecting Waypoints
Eg: entering YFC/106/10 in Latitude would create a user waypoint 10 NM away from the YFC VOR on the 106 Radial
