What's in this update
The following feature is updated.
- Enables copying positional information from "Position Memory" to "APRS Object" as well as to "My Position".
Press [MARK] and select a stored Position Memory (0-99) as the copy source, and press [ENT] to display the selected Position Memory's details screen.
Next, press [A/B] and select "Copy to APRS Object", and press [A/B] to select an Object (1-3) as the copy target.
Then selected Object's details screen will appear, and press [A/B] to copy the information (Name, Position, Icon) from "Position Memory" to "APRS Object".
Please edit other Object settings in Menu No.516 (APRS Object).
The following symptoms are revised.
