Marking Your Position (Personalized)
Normally, marking your position is simply a two-button process: MARK and ENTER.
However, sometimes you will want to personalize the POI you are marking to make it
easier to identify later. You are able to change the icon, set the visibility, change the
name, and create a message. You are also able to change the location coordinates and
the elevation. This changes the position that is being saved and is discussed in a
following section.
1. Press MARK.
2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the field you want
to change.

your selection, the type of icon selected is displayed in

to select the character desired and press ENTER. If
