Very much agree. Instinctively, I try to select a spot to mark, and I end up in a huge hassle.
Others:
Multiuse physical shortcut buttons (1-4 on echomap) short press to first screen, long press to different screen -- instantly gives 8 shortcuts
Casting/range ring - I understand there is a workaround, but it would be nice to have an easy/selectable option, eg 25, 50, 75, 100 ft.. not difficult to employ
