Landmarks
Landmarks1 is the name for a personal database that contains
Landmarks created by the user.
• These can be used for personal places like the homes of your
family.
• They can also be used to supply the locations and names of
businesses that are missing from the map database.
As mentioned in the last chapter, this is where the information is
stored when you press and hold the left button. However, these
locations can also be entered directly from the map using the
command Tools > Landmarks > Add Location.
If you select an address on the map by tapping on it and then create a landmark, that address will
be shown in the comments.
The command Tools > Landmarks > Show Locations will display the screen shown at the
left. Any of the entries can be edited or deleted from this screen. Tap Go To to view the location
on the map.
Categories can be the same as the ones in the POI database supplied with the WayPoint
tm
software or they can be new ones that you make up. If they are the same as POI categories then
the entries will be mixed in with other items of that category when you are searching.
You can send the database to your friends or upload it to the Mobile Crossing forum with a
descriptive name and others can use it for viewing with their maps. However only the one default
file can be used for adding information to the database.
