While missions automatically plot waypoints, players may also enter their own waypoint by way of the city map in GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars (player-defined waypoints have been present since [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]). After a waypoint has been plotted, the route will be illustrated in both the map and the [[radar]]; yellow routes and waypoints are mission specific, while green routes and waypoints are player-defined. Waypoints in the middle of a body of water will not be routed. Waypoints are also crucial if the player needs to reach a specific location in a [[Taxi]]; players can select the waypoint's location as one of the taxi's destinations. | While missions automatically plot waypoints, players may also enter their own waypoint by way of the city map in GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars (player-defined waypoints have been present since [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]).

* Voiced GPS systems in GTA IV normally sound a "bing bong" notification when the player is about to approach a turn. On rare occasions, however, the feminine version of the system itself may utter "bing bong" instead. This happens more often when many Cheats are used on one save file, and may effect other save files too. | * Voiced GPS systems in GTA IV normally sound a "bing bong" notification when the player is about to approach a turn.
