NOTE:

The Quick Save method uses the default waypoint symbol until you

Symbol is described in Sec. 4.) After you have changed a waypoint

symbol, the unit will remember the one you chose and use it the
next time you save a waypoint. To revert back to the default sym-

bol, edit a waypoint and choose the original symbol, or use the Re-
