Icons

Icons are graphic symbols used to mark some 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.
