The mission is pushed to the vehicle by selecting the Push Mission To Vehicle button from the Mission tab of the navigation control.

If the waypoints are modified they must be pushed to the vehicle again before the vehicle will begin following the new instructions.
To move a waypoint with the mouse simply click and drag it to the desired location. Precise location and other waypoint details are edited in the Waypoints tab.

From the Mission View screen, use mouse to right-click desired waypoint location. Select Add Waypoint. The waypoint will appear in yellow and turn blue when selected.
