This should have come out yesterday but admissions essays got in the way. Anyway, I updated the GCS, and now it supports waypoint-ing by clicking on the map. You can also insert waypoints in between existing ones by using the Add Before/Add After buttons. Delete waypoints by using the shiny red button.
To set up options for takeoff and landing, click "Takeoff / Landing Options". You'll be shown a screen like this:
... where you'll be able to set the takeoff pitch and altitude, as well as add CMD_LAND_OPTIONS entries. Fill in the boxes and click Add Landing Option, and it'll be automatically added to the list. The list is held in sorted order. To delete an option, select it and hit the 'Delete' or 'Backspace' keys on your keyboard.
Finally, You can export your mission to a waypoint writer file. I've only exported to the mission[][5] array, so you'll need to create the file and then copy and paste it in.
If you're using the GPS Simulator with this, and suddenly see the CDI (lowest instrument on the left) needles suddenly jerk around, just ignore it for now. I'll add in functionality so that the CDI will show your deviation from the plotted mission soon.

Have fun and as usual, let me know if there are any bugs, or comments :)
