Cory, as I told you, the only way you can do what your wanting to do is manually change the ICON name and make them way points. This has been an issue for some since day 1, and we've talked about it before on this site.

I will make a call tomorrow and double check to make sure there is nothing else you can do.  I asked your question to him in two different ways, trying to be clear so he knew exactly what you meant and both times I got the same answer.

So, what that tells me is, if they got rid of the icon feature, and didn't provide a way for you to transfer icons to the HDS units without making a waypoint, it clearly wasn't a big issue or not enough people complained to get them to change it on the second generations units.  Like I said, the way you, I Brad, Reef and others have used the icons in the past, that's apparent that's not what they, meaning Lowrance thought users would use the icon feature for.[/QUOTE]

I am ALSO ok with just having waypoints.  I think it could be done a little differently but we are not talking about that right now.

I am not asking to have icons back.  If they could add a programing feature to allow waypoint names to be all shown, or "all hide"   or do a select option to highlight the ones you want names to show...or SOMETHING so we can turn off the names from showing from a programing standpoint.  I think this can be done...

Thanks...let us know what he says...

let me get this clear, I have only a small issue with not having icons, and thats becuase now when I put my data from my HD unit back on my lcx, I can't since its over the 1000 point mark...I understand that is the limitation do to advancement.
