Strings from "Prompt User for Input Dialog Box" to "Multicolumn Listbox"

Is there a way to take the individual strings from the Dialog Box and place them in a single row of a multi-column listbox (or something of the sort) to be placed in a cue to be pulled out and referenced later?

The end goal is to be able to input GPS waypoints (many strings) into a list and take them out to be used one by one (once the GPS waypoint condition has been met).

It requires the use of some basic LabVIEW functions - the most important of which is a shift register and a property node. Here's a modified version of your VI. I also used an event structure so you don't have to poll the front panel control.

I would keep the waypoint as numerics in a 2D array and only format them for display. They're easier to handle that way and you don't need to scan them back to numeric representation for further processing.
 
Here's a quick draft (LV8.2) how you could do the input part.
