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. The iFINDER has 42 different symbols to choose
from when creating an icon.

Icons are similar to waypoints, but they do not store as much informa-
tion and you can't use a menu to navigate to icons as 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 cur-
rent position, while you are navigating.
