If you use "lots and lots" of waypoints, you may run out, and that is
bad, especially in open water.


==========================================

Yes, and there's really no reason for "lots and lots" of waypoints in
open water. A glance at your Cross Track Error (XTE) once in awhile
will tell you if you're being set to one side. As long as Course Made
Good is matching up with Bearing to Waypoint, that shouldn't happen
anyway.
