Was working on a map, and trying to insert waypoints, BUG: If you enter the name( feed station) of the waypoint and press ok and have the symbol marked (waypoint etc..) then save.. it only save and places "waypoint" etc...Not the name of the waypoint(feed station).. quick fix:...I place the name of the waypoint (feed station) in the symbol box; it then it saves and places the name of the waypoint (feed station)...This has occurred since the last 2 betas I think...

I'm not sure I understand. What exactly isn't being saved?

Instead of the name you type in the name field you get "waypoint" ?

Or in the symbol?

In the field when inserting a waypoint, You name: "1"
you then have to go down to the symbol: and type "1" for it to work. In other words, it will not let you name a waypoint without the symbol being the same name. It does not change the name to reflect the name change.

1 to 1 =1 (what it does now if I name the name=symbol)

1 to waypoint = (no "1") it says waypoint/summit etc...( if i don't change Â name=symbol)

Hope that helps I am running 2.78 clear as mud...I sent Scott the print scrn...

If I'm understanding correctly it sounds like you have TopoFusion set to display the symbol name, rather than the name field.

In Options->Preferences->Fonts/Colors->Display you can choose which text component of a waypoint is displayed on the screen. Apparently yours is set to "symbol" when you want it to show the "name."

No problem -- I can definitely understand your confusion.

I've been confused by it before too, actually.
