How to Group Waypoints into Color-Coded Overlays on iPhone

TL;DR

MGRS GPS groups waypoints into color-coded overlays you can toggle on and off — so you can separate missions, days, or categories into layers and show only what's relevant right now.

Steps

In MGRS GPS, create an overlay and give it a color.
Add waypoints (and lines or polygons) to that overlay.
Make more overlays for other missions, days, or categories.
Toggle overlays on and off to declutter the map.

Why it works this way

A single flat pile of waypoints becomes unreadable fast. Color-coded overlays turn it into organized layers — one for today’s route, one for hazards, one for a sector’s boundaries — that you can switch on and off. That keeps the map focused on what matters for the current task instead of everything you’ve ever marked.

Tips & edge cases

One overlay per mission or day keeps things tidy.
Distinct colors make categories readable at a glance.
Hide finished overlays rather than deleting — you may need them again.

FAQ

Can I hide waypoints I don’t need right now? Yes. Overlays are toggleable, so you show only the layers relevant to your task.

Can I color-code by category? Yes. Each overlay has its own color, so missions or sectors are visually distinct.

Do overlays hold lines and shapes too? Yes. Overlays can include waypoints plus lines and polygons for routes and boundaries.
