GPS Waypoint and Route Managers Most yachts carry more than one GPS.  Most sailors like to load the same route into all of those GPS units.  Many sailors also use computers that are ideally suited to managing numbers in easy-to-read tables.  GPS Waypoint/Route Management software uses computer power to back up and share waypoint information between GPS units.  Commercial packages support sophisticated ocean routing, too. Waypoint for Windows Waypoint for Windows is an ocean routing program designed to manage and analyze a vessel's route from departure to arrival.  It's the navigation software of choice for professional mariners and shipping companies worldwide (suitable for International Safety Management code use), yet easy enough to master and use for recreational and offshore cruisers as well.
