VFR waypoints, checkpoints, and visual reporting points are a part of the ForeFlight Aeronautical Map and can be added to your route like any other waypoint when flying in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, or South Africa.
NOTE: VFR waypoints, checkpoints, and visual reporting points are not available outside of the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, or South Africa. To add these points to a route, make them into user waypoints.
Adding VFR Waypoints to a Route
To add a VFR waypoint or visual reporting point to your route, follow these steps:
STEP 1. On the Maps view, ensure that VFR Aeronautical Details is turned on in the Map Settings menu.

STEP 2. Tap a VFR waypoint to display its details in the sidebar, to include the element's name, its ForeFlight (FF) identifier used in flight plan filing, its type, whether or not it is a compulsory reporting point, and its associated airfield if applicable.
Tap a VFR Waypoint to view the waypoint details.
STEP 2. At the top of the Waypoint Details sidebar, tap Add to Route to add the VFR waypoint to a route.
Select Add to Route to add the VFR Waypoint to a route.
Once the waypoint has been added to the route, it is displayed in the FPL Editor. The waypoint bubble includes the name of the waypoint followed by the associated airfield in parentheses. Or the name of the waypoint, followed by its VFR identifier (e.g., 91/605 Interchange-VPLFX).
