[BaseCamp] symbol priorities for stacked waypoints

[Maura]

If you need several different waypoints in exact same location,  edit each
waypoint so each is a few inches apart. Now they will be all in the same
place, for our purposes, but BaseCamp will be happier.

Understanding the structure of BC helps us figure out appropriate
workarounds.

If the structure of BC is too much of an impediment to a particular action,
there is always Mapsource.

Hope this helps
