Pete, I do not understand your post to the Ercoupe list. I have had a Garmin Pilot III for nearly 4 years. I have several "personal" waypoints stored. Some of these have been there since I first used it. They never go away, unless I delete them. When I want to go to one of these points that is not in the canned database, or one that is in the database for that matter, I use the routes screen and enter a route to that waypoint. ( Of course you have to select that route and then activate it to make it the active route.) The goto nrst is a safety function that will take you to the closest landing facility. It would be awkward to use that facility for normal navigation. It would also defeat the built in safety function. My Pilot III works mostly like the manual says. It is not the easiest machine to use, but it is adequate for my VFR flying, and is the right size for a Coupe.
