2. Create the border for your landmark and name it.
3. Right click on the landmark and select copy.
4. On the GPS Insight bar go to Mapping – Landmarks – KML Import. Right click in the box and select paste. Click Import Now.
5. To add the landmark to a new group check the box and enter the name of the new group. Click Import Now.
To add it to an existing group check the box on the right and select the landmark group from the dropdown menu. Click Import Now. (Note: Uncheck both boxes if you don’t want to add it to a landmark group.)
Create from a 2D or 3D Current Map
You can create a landmark at a vehicle’s current location on a map.
Find the vehicle in a 2D or 3D Current map. Click once on the vehicle icon. Click on Create from point.
