I thought I'd add the different waypoint formatting requirements for non-airport/navaid entries
Latitude & Longitude Coordinates
must be in degrees, minutes, seconds, N/S/E/W format separated by a comma
Notice the degrees may require a leading 0 to make it three digits
DDDMMSSN,DDDMMSSW
Example 0385746N,0932453W
Location from reference airport/navaid (does not work using Fixes) based on a heading/radial and distance
Kxxxyyyzzz
xxxyyyzzz
Kxxx - airport
xxx - navaid
yyy - three digit heading/radial
zzz - three digit distance
Airport Example - KSWO055740
Navaid Example - SWO055740
Supposedly you can also search on address and landmarks, but so far I haven't gotten that to work based on what few examples I could find in the group conversations.
Anyone with additions or corrections please respond so we can help each other.
