Icons
Icons are graphic symbols used to mark some location, personal point of in-
terest or event. They can be placed on the map screen, saved and recalled
later for navigation purposes. These are sometimes referred to as event
marker icons. The unit has 42 different symbols you can pick from when
creating an icon.
Icons are similar to waypoints, but they do not store as much information as
waypoints do. You can't use a menu to navigate to icons as you can with way-
points (But you can use the map cursor and navigate to any icon on the map.).
