If I'm understanding you correctly I think you may be turned around yourself. GPS by its inherent design doesn't know which way the front of your boat is. It only knows direction of travel which always assumes that that is the front of your boat.

Exactly. That's why it places the waypoint on the wrong side of your route on the chart when you're moving in reverse. The transducer and side imaging display DO know port side from starboard side.

Are you saying that the software can't possibly place the waypoint in the correct location when moving in reverse?
