    Geocaching Icons for Garmin POI's

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Hans,

    Your website is a great site. I had to upgrade to GSAK 7 to use the Macro, no biggie because I was going to upgrade anyway. The whole process was very easy. I loaded 1500+ caches into my 60Csx and it works.

     

    Questions similar to other posts but I will ask here:

     

    1. The icons have this magenta box around them, do you know how to get rid of this?

     

    2. I assume that because the waypoints are now POI's that ALL of the POI icons will now appear, ie. restaurants, ATMs, churches. Is there a way to turn these off or would I have to reload my maps with the icons turned off?

     

    3. Is there a way to turn off the text in the map view? I just want to see icons, not Cache names & terr/diff.

     

    Let me know what you think.

     

    Thank you again! It was nice to have everything all in one place. Nice job putting all of the information together.

     

    Play On!

    Geocaching Icons for Garmin POI's

    Help! I have read the wonderful "Silly POI Tricks" Topic but within the 29 printed pages I keep getting lost as to how to get the geocaching icons to work with my POI's. I have a 60Csx and the icons woks fine when I transfer waypoints from GSAK to my 60Csx. Now I would like to go beyond the 1000 waypoint limit as well as set up different folders of waypoints for the different areas that my family visits frequently. I really enjoy seeing the icons for the less than 1000 limit and would like to see them for all of my POI lists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you TeamCNJC for the explanation. I feel better about the blue circle. I went caching yesterday and didn't know what the circle was all about. I espically liked the comment, "when the cache/waypoint you're looking for is inside the circle, stop looking at the screen and start looking for hollow logs".

    Magellan geocache file system questions

    Why do you want to load so many geocaches? There are only a few caches that you can find in a given amount of time, so I would stick with the 200 limit max. I generally load about 100, which keeps me plenty busy.

     

    I am all over different towns everyday of the week. I have 500 geocaches in my GPSr at all times and just glance at it as I am traveling through towns. I know that I will never get all 500 in a week, but I use them as goals for when I am in that area of town again. Even scouting a parking spot prior to heading out for the actual cache is a great help.
