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, change the name, and create
a message. You are also able to change the location coordinates and the elevation.
