Waypoint

A waypoint is a set of coordinates, matching a precise location (resolution is 1 meter) on a planet or in a space sector.

Since most of SWG environment is open to free exploration, waypoints are very useful to find one's way to a given location.

Waypoints can be stored in a character's datapad. To create a new waypoint and store it in your datapad, type the following:
 * /waypoint X,Y       (or /waypoint X,Z,Y if you're in space)

Once in datapad, waypoints can be renamed.

Waypoints are automatically created and added to your datapad in several cases, for example: - when you build a house or any other installation - when you take a mission from a mission terminal - when you start a quest

Waypoints can be sent to other players by using the in-game mail system.
