Thank you

If you own one of these Garmins: LegendC, VistaC, GPS Map60C/S, 76C/S, 276C, 296, or Quest, this xImage program from Garmin is what you need.

 

"What is xImage? xImage allows you to retrieve and update images on your GPS. For example, xImage makes it possible to get a screenshot from most GPS models. In addition, with certain newer models, xImage allows you to update some images (splash screen, waypoint symbols, etc.) with your own creations."

 

Hope this helps!

Sorry, I think my question wasn't clear sorry. I mean taking a screen shot of what shows of my computer screen.

If you're using a PC and you just want to get the active window, press and hold down the "Alt" key as you hit the "Print Screen" key. That will put the image into your computer's memory.

 

Open up an imaging program like MS Office Photo Editor, Photo Shop, or as a last resort the Windows Paint program. Click on "Edit" in the menu bar at the top and then select "Paste as a New Image" (if available), or "Paste" (if "New Image" is not available.

 

If you want to cature the entire display on your screen, press and hold down the "Ctrl" key as you hit the "Print Screen" key instead of the "Alt" key.

You might be interested in a handy freeware screen-shot program from Gadwin called Printscreen 3.0.

You will still have to host the image somewhere but this gives you a little more control of what you are capturing and will save it to your PC as a .jpg picture.

If you don't have any web space available, just log on to GC.com and post it as a pic under your username (My Account->Edit My Profile->Choose Profile Image->Upload a new image). There may be a shorter path, but that will do it.

 

Once the image is uploaded, double click on it to display it, and then copy the URL in the address bar of your browser. Then in your post, click the "img" button and paste the link.
