Organizing Waypoints into Categories

You can organize your waypoints into categories to help you manage
and use your waypoints. For example, you can create a "Vacation"
category that stores all of the waypoints you will use for your
upcoming vacation. When the vacation is over, you can simply
delete all the waypoints in that category by pushing a few buttons.
You can create up to 15 waypoint categories.
To create a waypoint category:
1. From any of the waypoint pages or the Points Tab, press
MENU to open the options menu.
2. Select Edit Categories and press ENTER.
3. Use the Rocker key to highlight Add and press ENTER.
Enter the name of the category, select Save, and press ENTER.
4. Use the Rocker key to enter a name for the category.
5. Highlight Save and press ENTER.
