+nwjeeper Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Does anyone know how to upload custom icons to the Garmin 60cx. There is suposed to be a way but I can't find it. You can add custom icons in mapsource but the actual icons don't upload to the unit when the waypoint is sent. Quote Link to comment

+nwjeeper Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 thanks but the POI loader loads POIs not icons, not least that I can tell. Ximage that I read about in the faqs is to take screen shots of the gps Quote Link to comment
+Kwitzats Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 thanks but the POI loader loads POIs not icons, not least that I can tell. Ximage that I read about in the faqs is to take screen shots of the gps Drop a bitmap in the same folder as the poi's named the same as the file for example Virtual.bmp . they are only viewable at a certain zoom however and transparecy doesnt seem to work at least has been my experience perfhaps with another firware update garmin will fix this Quote Link to comment
+nwjeeper Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 O.K. I guess I can't do what I want to do as no one seems to be understading me. I DO NOT want to load any POIs! I use GSAK to load all my geocaches to the 60cx All I want to be able to do is assign them with icons for Multi, Puzzle, Virtual caches so that I can tell the difference on the screen. I thought because there was a provision for "custom icons" in the 60cx that there should be an easy way to upload JUST icons to the unit. I guess this isn't possible. I was hoping to be able to make this as simple a process as possible in that by getting the "geocaching" icons into the unit, then they could be associated when I load new caches with GSAK. Thanks anyway for everyones help. Quote Link to comment
+LandRover Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Yes you can upload custom Icons to your 60cx. Click on the link Red90 provided and goto FAQ #9. xImage is used to both download screen shots from your GPS as well as upload custom Icons to your GPS. Quote Link to comment
+nwjeeper Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks Landrover. Did that, but don't see a way to make GSAK use the symbols that defined as "custom" on the 60cx. Garmin's requirements are that the "custom" icons are named "Waypoint Symbol (000-023).bmp". I still can't associate that to a cache type with Gsak. Quote Link to comment
+Hi-Tek Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) Thanks Landrover. Did that, but don't see a way to make GSAK use the symbols that defined as "custom" on the 60cx. Garmin's requirements are that the "custom" icons are named "Waypoint Symbol (000-023).bmp". I still can't associate that to a cache type with Gsak. Take a look here. Create the GarminOther.txt file and you should see them under the "Change Symbols" option when sending waypoints to your GPSr. Edited September 9, 2006 by Hi-Tek Quote Link to comment
