A waypoint is a reference point or location in a record collection that has been identified according to one or more characteristics (such as place, record type, or year). Researchers use waypoints to navigate the collection online. Waypointing is less detailed than indexing and allows FamilySearch to make record collections available online before they are fully indexed.
