[BaseCamp] symbol priorities for stacked waypoints

[Jerry White]

Joe,


I try to avoid multiple waypoints at the exact same spot, for just the
reason you are explaining. The only way to tell for sure if there are
multiples is to select the waypoint (drag around it) and then look in the
waypoint list on the left.

That sounds a lot like the Zip Code thread in the BMR. Am I right? For the
BMR I am tracking multiples with a spreadsheet, not in Basecamp. My
Basecamp MO is one waypoint per zip code, and I track the bonus codes a
different way.
