The primary specification of the waypoint coordinates is degrees, minutes, and seconds

Potential landout fields have names starting with an "x". After the name there may be a question mark followed by some codes that describe potential/likely hazards associated with that field, which are described at Chess in the Air

Emergency landout fields have names starting with "XX". In the software they are labelled as "unknown". Use as a last resort!

Some airports are so ill-suited for gliders that their names have been changed to begin with an x or xx depending on the field. They may also have question marks after the name with hazard codes just like landout fields. An example would be Saguache which is a public airport but a narrow 50 ft runway that will not work for an 18m glider because there is typically tall grass on either side of the runway right up to the edge. Ground looping here would be very likely.

If a waypoint starts with a 3-digit number do not land there. The 14er peaks in Colorado (mountains over 14,000 ft tall) have numbers in the 900s.
