Importing custom icons into a Garmin 60Cx

[+Lemon Fresh Dog]

Hello all,

I am sure this topic must have come up previously, but a search yielded no results I could see.

 

Here's what I want to do:

 

When I upload waypoints, I want them to be the exact icons that Groundspeak uses. Little question marks, geocaches, etc. I also want to load a custom icon for micros.

 

I know that GSAK will allow me to create a relationship of built-in icon to cache-type, but I want the exact ones -- possible? (and, will this "break" the geocaching function associated with exisiting geocache icons. (found/not found)

 

Thanks for any pointers or links.

See question #9 in the Managing and Using Waypoints section of Sputnik's handy-dandy Garmin FAQ.

Be aware that the waypoints won't show up when you Find, Geocache. ONLY waypoints with the closed treasure chest icon show up using that function. Sad but true.

Well, not if you change your default geocaching icon.... but, yes, you can only use one icon at a time with geocaching mode (perhaps someday they'll change that!)
