[BaseCamp] waypoint position (lat/lon)

[saddle sore]

yes, I'm zoomed in, probably as far as possible before I do the waypoint
moving.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Some times I just place a new
waypoint on the map where I want the dragged waypoint  to be, and then
delete the other waypoint instead of dragging it.  Yep, there are a  number
of ways to skin the cat and get the position, but to me drag/drop is soooo
simple -- if it would just work.  Oh well
Thanks, Joe
