Memory Map

[+The Mighty Shark]

Hi gang

 

I have just purchased a copy of memory map 5 and am very impressed with it so far, but I was wondering if it’s possible to import the different icons that represent the various cache types.

I have tried importing the waypoints for all caches available in the UK and I think that importing the data as loc files seems to be the best but all caches are shown with the same icon.

I tend to take my computer with me a lot when I go away and do not always have internet access but being able to open up memory map and display most (if not all caches) would be a good way to get around this problem.

But being able to know if a cache is a regular, multi, event, etc would be great to see just by looking at the screen so do any of you clever people out there know if it’s possible?

I know that there is an option to import icons as bitmaps but if I did this would it update the icons automatically or would it meant that all 19,000+ uk caches listed at present would have to be done manually?

 

Thanking all who reply in advance….

The thread mentioned above makes very interesting reading. But to save you a bit of time and possibly getting in a muddle download Lordelphs Icons from the first post, look in there for the "readme.txt" file. That should put you on the right road.

OK done all that but all I can still see are the little blue dots on the map, not the new icons which I have added so any suggestions please. I'm sure the answer is a simple one (he says hopefully )

I would ask for help in the other thread if I were you otherwise this one will become a duplicate thread.

Yes, somewhere in the other thread it tells you to delete all the icons in MM and retry your imported overlay. Apparently when MM has a full quota of icons it reverts to the blue dot for anything new that you try to put in.

Email me and I will adjust the script to suit your setup. Including an Idiots guide to setting this up within GSAK

Hi Mark - I have managed to get this work very recently (for both v4 and v5) after trying on and off for a good few months. If you haven't got it working yet, e-mail me and I will see if I can help. Diane
