I want to extract the lat/long for route waypoints so I can put them into Garmin GNS 430. Am I missing a method to get a lat/long?  If I put a waypoint at some random point then the lay/long is shown in the properties but if waypoint snaps to a town it just shows the name when you ask for its properties.

SkyDemon doesn't expose them directly. You can find them by going to create a new waypoint, making it relative to an existing waypoint at 0 degrees and 0 nm, and then you'll see the coordinate, but it's a fiddly solution.

Another work around, although not very convenient, would be to identify your waypoint on Google Maps, click/tap on it to place a location pin and then read off the co-ordinates from the bottom of the screen.

If you're looking for the coordinates for the waypoints in your planned route, the simplest option is to turn on the 'Show Position' column in the PLOG, which will give you a column containing all of the lat/longs.

Excellent, good point!
