Optional description

Make this set of waypoints appear on the RV Investigator Map page

Draw a map of the waypoints     

Acceptable position formats are dd.ddd, dd mm.m, dd mm ss. Any inclusions of a 'minus' or S or W will ensure points are in the correct hemisphere. Any latitudes or longitudes marked with * cannot be parsed.

By default, waypoints are sorted by entry order. Use the 'order' column to reorder positions (using positive integer)
