Waypoint and Edit Waypoint in the online Command Reference section.
If this is all the GPS information you need for now, skip ahead to the lesson "Saving a GPS Data File" on page 50. But, if you want to add icons or a route, check out the next two lessons.
Creating an Icon
Icons are graphic symbols used to mark some location, point of interest or event. These features are also called event markers, or event marker icons. Event marker icons don't store as much information as waypoints. You can't use a menu to navigate to them as you can with waypoints, and you can't change their names. But you can change their symbols. In fact, waypoints and event marker icons share the same set of symbols, but they are two different types of GPS data with different capabilities.
NOTE:
Until you change the default symbol, any icon you create will look like a blue and white waypoint, but without a name. For this lesson, we will stick with the default, but if you want to change the symbol, refer to Edit Icon in the online Command Reference.
Event marker icons are a handy way to mark a spot when you don't need to save or edit much information about the location or event. Creating an icon on your map is as easy as setting waypoints. Here's how: (Refer as needed to the Toolbar figure on page 30.)
1.Center the Master Map display on the area where you want to set the icon. Click the CENTER MASTER MAP
click the 
on the area you want centered.
2.If needed, click the Zoom In or Zoom Out buttons so you can see enough detail to accurately place the icon.
3.Click the CREATE ICONS button, and your mouse pointer becomes an arrow with a red and yellow icon symbol.
4.Move the mouse pointer so that the arrow point is where you want the icon. Click to set the icon. Move your mouse away, and you can see the icon.
