When I throw a crab pot over the side how do I mark that location?
Is it called MARK or POINT or WAYPOINT ? I will use MARK for this question.
What button(s) do I hit to MARK a spot? Does it name that MARK, can I change the color and Icon for the MARK ? Does the next MARK stay with the changed color, icon ? Or revert to default setting?
Lets say the default is a red X, will the first pot be a red X with 1 as the name?
And the second pot will be X 2 ?
Basically I want a quick easy way to make a MARK on the screen for the location of each pot,
and have the name, number in order. With me having to push the least amount of buttons!
I don't want to push 5 buttons to mark a pot!
Thanks!
I did find the owners manual online and it was a little vague (to me) on these questions.
 
From the manual:
3.2.1 How to enter a point at the current position
A point may be entered at current position even when the menu is open. Press the
EVENT/MOB key. The symbol of the point is marked at the position at the time the
EVENT/MOB key was pressed. The point is automatically named.


Your first point will be point 1 and the next will be 2, etc. Afterwards you can edit these and change numbers or names. Just one push is needed.
