In the window for configuring Waypoint Settings there are two icons in the upper left hand corner. One has a red minus sign. The other has a green plus sign.

Why not? Landing into the hand avoids

How do you come to this conclusion: from this statement:

I happen to have some extra 2 ft by 2 ft Interlocking Utility Mats. Indeed they aren't foldable, but I cut them into four squares. This makes them a bit easier to pack. They are still bulky. In use I interlock them to create another 2ft. by 2 ft. square. First image is as it would have...
