Generations have, and survived to tell the tale, even without the gps to
go with the waypoint. :-)
It is (IMNSHO) an easy route to navigate which is one of the reasons why
I picked it. The other two are that it is topical and I have done it in
those conditions using just the 1" and a compass.
So if you had to navigate that simple route how many intermediate
waypoints would you consider you needed?
