You are all barking up the right tree. You must have asked your dogs.
Kevin, you could set a route waypoint as a reference point but it is likely to
change as you move along. What I had in mind is the following:
Set your Destination. Then set your virtual position and you can hear about
that with the I command.
Then find A POI as George suggests. The trick is that you have to turn Look
Around off or the POI you are referencing will be replaced if you have
Look-Around turned on. If it is off, that POI will stay available on the P Key.
So you have D, I and P for 3 reference points. Add K as a fourth if you like.
