• Other things can be entered such as a category and picking an icon but these things can
be done later if you prefer.
• You can name your own categories, so a category like ‘family’ or ‘residence’ would be
good choices. You can also just leave it blank or pick an existing category.
• If the data entry field (keyboard) is removed as shown above you will find some more of
the form.
• You can select the zoom level used by the icon.
• Tap OK to save the point. You have just created your first Landmark.
You can create as many landmarks as you wish to mark GPS locations. They can also be
created from the map without needing the GPS position. (See
“Landmarks ” on
page 53.)
• Tap the location you just created (which may be under the
doughnut) and a box will appear describing the object.
• Tap and hold on the box anywhere and a menu will appear.
• Select Add to Favorites.
Surely your home location will be one of your favorites!
You might notice that you can edit, move, or delete this point with
this menu or set the Landmark as the starting point for the next big
adventure. You can tap any object on the screen with similar
results.
• Press the left button again (but don’t hold it this time) and a menu will appear of your
favorite landmarks will appear.
Notice that home is in this very short list. Actually the list can grow to eight entries. After eight,
the bottom entry will be dropped off if you add any more. Use the organize function from the
menu to keep your best favorites near the top of the list. The list can be used to select the target
destination for navigation, if it is displayed, by pushing the favorites
button.
Add Locations to Favorites
There is an option to favorites that hasn’t been mentioned so far. On the Tools > Settings >
program options is a setting to automatically add Locations to Favorites. It changes the entire
idea of favorites to be recent instead. The 8 most recent locations will be maintained in the favorites
list, which can be handy if you don’t care much about keeping favorite locations. It is also a good
way to collect locations initially without having to make them manually.
