Waypoints and Marks

Waypoints are locations you record and store in the device that allow you to
navigate back to a location. Waypoints display on the screen as a blue flag,
and include the waypoint name and symbol.
Marks are locations you record without navigation information. Marks display
on the screen as a dot with a symbol, and are hidden in the Waypoints and
Marks list by default. When you transfer a mark to another device, the mark is
converted to a waypoint.
You can save a maximum of 12,000 waypoints and marks.
