A '''navigation point''', also referred to as '''navpoint''' or '''waypoint''', is an indicator feature that shows the direction of the objective or destination.
A '''Navigation point''', also referred as '''Navpoint''' and '''Waypoint''', is an indicator feature that shows the direction of the objective or destination.
 
==Gameplay==
Navigation points commonly appear on a player's screen in objective [[multiplayer]] games, such as [[Capture the Flag]], [[Oddball]], and [[VIP]]. Navpoints also appear in [[co-op]] mode, indicating the position of teammates. They are present in [[Campaign]], and are placed if the player must reach a destination or does not know where to go.  


In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the waypoints are colored orange in single player, and red or blue (depending on the objective) in multiplayer. In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3|3]]'', they are blue when playing as the [[John-117|Master Chief]], and purple when playing as [[Thel 'Vadamee]]. Often, waypoints have a distance indicator in meters, showing the player how far away the waypoint is from their position.

Navpoints also appear in [[co-op]] mode, indicating the position of teammates. They are present in [[Campaign]], and are placed if the player must reach a destination (in some cases, a vehicle, such as [[Sergeant Johnson]]'s warthog from ''[[Halo 3]]''), and also if they player does not know where to go.
