    Note that each waypoint name contains the 2-letter region code and the box number so you can strip out the RouteName lines and still know which box is which. Route names and waypoint comments are limited to 16 upper-case characters for Garmin compatibility. The comment field contains a shortened bear box name which will be close but not exactly the same as in the alphabetic listing names. Use the 4-character waypoint name as a cross reference with other pages.

    Unverified waypoints are shown in brown, field checked boxes are in black.
    This data is in decimal degrees, with latitude and longitude after the 3rd and 4th comma.
