    I am learning my new graphs and have figured out how to mark waypoints, but can you also use icons? On my old lowrance I used icons way more than way points. Are icon a feature on the new Garmins?

    I believe most manufacturers have done away with icons in favor of a waypoints only arrangement. You can drop a waypoint and change the symbol to a “icon-like” symbol of your choosing but I’m not aware of any way to drop an icon in the manner that was possible with LMS series units back in the day.

    Here’s a thread that discusses this in more detail. https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/community/forums/topic/lowrance_1255665/

    Thanks James!

    I also preferred to use icons instead of way points, but I will just use way points now.
