| They got rid of icons because they aren't as accurate as waypoints, you can't name them or search for them within the units and confuses people who start out with something other then a Lowrance where an "icon" is the symbol for the waypoint and not something seperate. They were a neat way to get around the memory limitations for the older units without hurting processing time and now they have 5,000 waypoints.
Dropping a waypoint is just as simple as dropping an icon. Hit the waypoint button twice and you are done. If you want a different symbol hold the waypoint button down, a pop up comes up, highlight the symbol and hit waypoint the second time and the unit will continue to drop that symbol until you select a different one.
Transferring your old icons onto the new units is simple. Save them to an mmc card, plug the card into an HDS, load them up and the unit does it for you. Now if you wanted to turn your icons into waypoints without an HDS so you can transfer them to Humminbird or a different competitor that is a little more of a hassel, but it can be done. | |
