[BaseCamp] symbol priorities for stacked waypoints

[Greg Horodeck]

So, if I am a dental supply salesman and have several customers in the same medical building, I shouldn't create a separate waypoint for each one? From a routing perspective they are in the same location but are separate discrete entities.

The original poster asked a specific question on how BaseCamp prioritizes waypoints at the same location. Just trying to answer his question.
