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. | 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]]).
