[BaseCamp] waypoint naming rights

[Steve Bracken]

BaseCamp has only one database, so if you rename a waypoint it gets the new
name everywhere.

To do what you want to do you will have to create 2 waypoints in the same
place, and name them individually.

The duplicates you created may have been given slightly different names. If
not, you have to do it manually.
