Don't know how but, I seem to have deleted the waypoint files for my PP install.
I've checked on Yahoo groups and here, looking for a copy of waypoint files for Florida in the USA.

Thanks.

Are we talking about the .wpt files and if so, for what?  Airports, reporting points etc?

Do you know where you obtained them initially?

For reporting points. Not sure if those are .gpx (?) or .wpt files.

I do not remember where from I've got them originally.

When I had them, I could toggle them on or off on PP.

I found the "GPX Aviation Waypoint Generator" website and generated a .gpx file which I then installed on the Chart Files folder, still unable to see anything.

So...I wanted to update the post with a successful ending.
I feel sheepish as hell because my "problem" wasn't a problem at all, except thanks to my inability to fully comprehend PP

In PP, I would click on Options>Chart>GPX Overlay, and select an overlay.

It turns out that, there's a difference between "Selecting" and "defining".

Eventually I settled on the right one.

Including a screenshot of what the display now looks like with the desired effect.

Anmer, it was a .gpx file, showing reporting points for pilots flying into KMCO.

Thanks for sharing the successful outcome.

Glad you got there.
