Sounds like it's working as designed; you just don't agree with the
design decision.

OK, once again and then I'll shut up:

For all kinds of waypoints (e.g. Lodging, Fuel, Hospital etc etc) 'Hide
Above = Auto' means that the unit chooses to hide the waypoint if you zoom
out sufficiently. The level at which this happens is determined
automatically by the software.

But for a particular type of waypoint (i.e. User Waypoint), does it make
sense for 'Hide Above = Auto' to mean 'Never hide' ?
