Icons
Icons are graphic symbols used to mark a location, personal point of
interest or event. They can be placed on the map screen, saved and re-
called later for navigation purposes. These are sometimes referred to as
event marker icons. This unit has 42 different symbols you can pick
from when creating an icon.
Icons are similar to waypoints, but they do not store as much informa-
tion (like names) as waypoints do. You can't use a menu to navigate to
icons as you can with waypoints. But, you can use the map cursor and
navigate to any icon on the map.
You can create an icon at the cursor position on the map, or at your
current position while you are navigating.
