select characters. The editable fields include:

Identifier – Like other airports and navaids, the identifier is displayed on the map.

Name – Longer description that is shown on the Info page.

Latitude/Longitude – Defaults to the current aircraft lat/long if the map is centered on
the aircraft, or the lat/long that the map pointer is pointing at if the map is in map
panning mode. However, this field can be changed with the cursor if you would like to
create a waypoint based on other coordinates.

Altitude – Not currently used for navigation purposes, but is shown on the Info page.

Icon – Choose from a variety of aviation style icons, pushpins, buildings, etc.
