Google Earth
Google Earth is a geographic browser, a planet-wide database of aerial and satellite imagery,
and one of the best reasons to own a PC.

You can zoom-in to landmarks before you go!
You can also see graphically how the GPS route legs run straight between the waypoints. The road may
meander, but it will meet the leg at the next waypoint.
Waypoint Names
I've named waypoints in a compact way that also tells you what to do when you get there.
So if you turn right onto Fugawi Rd. the waypoint would be named R@FUGAWI.
