I stopped using that waypoint tool years ago because the boat would drift off the plotted course... also, after making a plotted turn the rudder would not return to zero, it would always be one or two degrees off zero and possibly using more fuel - never checked. Anyway, I got tired of it, didn't find it useful, so I began using the method that I described above.
Happy Hunting!
