Waypoint is a navigation fix and usually it is a destination or point of reference. Most waypoints from GPS units uses the WGS84 Map Datum. Our related site at sg.pagenation.com has full list of Singapore based Waypoints.

Here is an example of how waypoint table is presented

Type waypoint file format:
key word, format, waypoint name, latitude, longitude, date , time

Example:

All records begin with one of 4 key words: Waypoint, TrackPoint, RouteName, or RoutePoint. Waypoint and RoutePoint records are of the same form except RoutePoints become part of a route. Each keyword is followed by a designator that describes what kind of storage is used with latitude and longitude. DM and DMS are stored in as single packed floating point number. 

To save data in a format other than decimal degrees, the default mode, use the File-Mode menu items to change the mode in which data is stored. D=decimal degrees; ddd.dddddddd (34.064531922) DM=degrees minutes; ddd.mmmmmmm = ddd mm.mmmmmmm (34.06548 = 34 6.548') DMS=degrees minutes seconds; ddd.mmsssssss = ddd mm ss.sssss (34.06453 = 34 6' 4.53")
