From the waypoint definition page, you can also
define how each individual waypoint is displayed on
the map. The GPS 12XL displays waypoints as a name
with a corresponding symbol (e.g., "nearest fuel" and a
gas pump symbol), a symbol only (e.g., a fish symbol),
or a 16-character comment and corresponding symbol
(e.g., "great view" and the camp site symbol). The way-
point name has a six character limit while the "com-
ment" field has a 16-character limit, and there are 16
individual waypoint symbols available.
