What is "suspend"?

A flight plan consists of a sequence of waypoints. So, for example, let's
say I've got POU CMK HPN programmed in. As I depart POU, it makes CMK the
active waypoint and starts navigating to there. Once I reach CMK, it will
automatically sequence over to HPN being the active waypoint.

Now, before I get to CMK, the controller says, "hold at CMK, blah, blah,
blah". If I leave things as normal, once I reach CMK the first time, it'll
sequence over to HPN, which is a bad thing. I want it to stay on CMK as I
keep going round and round until the guy says, "proceed on course" and
*then* I want it to sequence over to HPN. So, what I do is put the GPS
into suspend mode (well, in reality, it goes into suspend mode
automatically when I program in the hold). When I'm done holding, I take
it out of suspend mode, and it sequences over to the next waypoint.
