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 to choose 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 not 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 cur- rent position while navigating.
