As Liandra already pointed out, locs in the Info Center simply leave out the middle (altitude) number. You can create waypoints by inserting a 0 (or anything else, for that matter) in the middle position.
As to the "why," well, it really boils down to me hating inconsistency. Early on, some of the walk-thrus and other info sources I utilized used three-digit locs, but others used only two-digit locs. So I chose to make *every* loc in the Info Center two-digit. Similarly, some rounded the numbers, while others included decimals; I chose to round all the numbers.
Granted, there are times when knowing the altitude is useful, but those times are rather few and far between. Typically, so long as you know the X and Y coordinates, you can find what you're after.
