Points of Interest 32 Marking Your Position (Personalized) Normally, marking your position is simply a two-button process: MARK and ENTER. However, sometimes you will want to personalize the POI you are marking to make it easier to identify later. You are able to change the icon, set the visibility, change the name, and create a message. You are also able to change the location coordinates and the elevation. This changes the position that is being saved and is discussed in a following section. 1. Press MARK. 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the field you want to change. 3. Press ENTER. 4a. If the icon field was selected: Use the Arrow joystick to select the icon desired and press ENTER. To aid in your selection, the type of icon selected is displayed in the information block at the top of the keypad. 4b. If the Name field is selected: Use the Arrow joystick to select the character desired and press ENTER. If you make a mistake, highlight Back and press ENTER. Mark Screen with Name To access the lower-case characters, highlight Shift field highlighted and press ENTER. To clear everything and start over, highlight CLEAR and press ENTER.
