Creating Waypoints and POIs in the Garmin Explore App

Waypoints or Points of Interest (POIs) can be created in the Garmin Explore™ app, then synced to the Garmin Explore™ website or a compatible Garmin device. You can find steps for this below.

Waypoints can also be created offline, while in the field, and synced to a compatible device. This allows for trip planning without an internet connection.
