Memory points can be stored in four different categories: personal, business, entertainment, and marked point.

Memory points are stored when either START or MARK are selected when setting a destination on the map or when storing destinations in memory.

A total of 60 locations can be stored. The last 10 destinations entered are stored under Previous Destination. In addition, one memory point can be stored under the Home category.

If all 60 stored points are entered, the system notifies you that there is no available storage left in memory points. A memory point must be removed before storing additional memory points.

Marked Point

A marked point is a memory point which has been stored by selecting the MARK screen button while traveling on a planned route. The scroll feature can also be used to plan a destination on the map after reaching the destination, or by moving a memory point to a marked point category. See "Editing Memory Points" earlier in this section for more information.

Previous Destination Memory

Each time Start is selected from the map screen, that destination is stored as a memory point under PREVIOUS DESTINATION. This category stores up to 10 destinations.

When the Previous Destination category contains more than 10 destinations, the system removes the oldest destination stored and adds the most recent one selected to the list.

So that a previous destination is not lost, move the destination into a memory point category. See "Moving Memory Points" earlier in this section for more information.

Home Memory

This memory point is stored by selecting Home from the EDIT MEMORY POINT screen. See "Registering Memory Points" earlier in this section and "Home" under Enter Destination for more information.
