[BaseCamp] waypoint naming rights

[saddle sore]

I deeply appreciate this group!!  Maura's explanation makes sense but is
not the intuitive process for me.  I naturally thought that the duplicated
route was a route of the duplicated waypoints.  Heck, there's only one
route and a number of waypoints in the List, so common sense to me is that
the route is connecting THOSE waypoints.  Well, learn something new every
day.  So after changing the names of all my bonus sites and my gas receipt
locations to the way I want them to show up on my GPS screen, I created a
route with them.  Ta-da, it worked.  Thanks everyone.  I appreciate being
untangled -- even if it will simply be for just a short time.
