Waypoint symbols issue

[Couch Eagle]

Hi all,

 

I have a Garmin GPSMAP 60 CSx and am having issues with waypoint symbols. Whenever I add a waypoint on the unit ("Mark" while the unit is in operation) it automatically gives it a blue flag symbol. When I download to Garmin's MapSource program I get that symbol. If I change it to the little black square (much cleaner on the screen) and then upload back to the unit, it changes it to the blue flag again. How can I change it to stay the little black square?

 

And maybe I'm stupid, but I've tried xImage to create custom waypoint symbols and I just can't figure it out. Anybody have an easy, or even difficult fix?

 

Thanks in advance.

Mark a waypoint or select one of the waypoints in your unit now. With a waypoint selected, toggle up and over to the symbol and hit enter. All the choices in your unit should be visible. Select something other than the blue flag (I use "city medium" and hit enter. "Page" forward (or "quit") . That waypoint and the next waypoint and all future waypoints will be marked with whatever symbol you selected. (until you change your selection in your unit)

 

Waypoints will be transferred to and from Mapsource with the correct symbol(s) (whatever is shown in your unit.
