The waypoint names are of the type: WX-Route-Point-xxxx-yy where xxxx is a guid number and yy the waypoint number I want to shorten this type of name.

Maybe it would be better to settle for WX-RP-xxxxyy or even RP-xxxxyy

Why not WR-xxxyy ? for WeatherRouting-guid-waypoint# but don't you want to keep these waypoints together with a route# or something? ie: WR(routenumber)-xxxxyy? I don't know how it would get a unique route number though. Maybe use the first waypoint guid?

Also aren't guid numbers much longer than 4 digits?
