This is a pretty good explanation for what we may be expected to do come Saturday's mission (2 January, 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhsPRMQ7EGM

Success, however I just need to figure out how to insert it after a specific waypoint.  I wanted it to be after WP3 but it ended up as 15.  I selected two different coordinated and found both.  Shhhwing!

From WP3 of the PGM map we flew last night for Ford Flight.  See attached Kneeboard for Coardinates of specific targets on the PGM we practiced on last night.  DMPI= Desired Mean Point of Impact

N 27 05.685 E 057 06.435 would be entered as N 27 05 68  E 57 06 43

I found this extremly helpful. Select or scroll to N08 for adding/inserting waypoint. He also includes references to WAGS’s video.
