you might have made the same location a waypoint. To edit waypoints I found this:

You cannot rename a user-defined waypoint from the "Modify Waypoint" dialog box. Editing the waypoint name in that dialog box moves you to a different waypoint to modify. The only way to rename an existing waypoint is to go to the "list of waypoints" page, put the cursor on the waypoint you want to rename, and then twist the small knob to begin editing the waypoint name.

I'd try to delete KLBM or move it out into the ocean.

Hey matey,

It is not posible to change the name of destinations or navaids in the GPS. This is an inbuilt safety feature....I imagine you have created another user waypoint at the same lat/long with the name KLBM. You should be able to just delete this new user waypoint as previously suggested.
