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 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 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.
