Need a work around.

[+BiT]

I need a work around for the Colorado. Currently earthcache icons appear as green boxes, the traditional icon. I tried loading the earthcaches as POI and that worked. However there is no cache page data-kind of important for an earthcache. I then loaded the normal cache PQ then loaded the earthcaches again as POIs. The current icon of the green box overlaid the POI icon.

 

Any suggestions?

No support for custom waypoint symbols yet on the Colorado. This issue and the fact that earthcaches show up with a traditional icon are noted in the Issues List.

There is a workaround......

 

Run a GSAK macro that changes the "cache type" for those caches. We discssed this locally as someone wanted mircos to show differently.

This will, of course screw up the cache type for earthcache, but if you use a rarely used type, that should be OK. Maybe use "Virtual" as that is what they are.....

 

Basically, insert this code into a Colorado export macro:

GOTO Position=Top
WHILE NOT($_EOL)
IF $d_CacheType = "R"
$d_CacheType = "V"
ENDIF
GOTO Position=Next
ENDWHILE

 

These cache types DO show the proper icon for the cache type on the Colorado:

 

B = Letterbox

C = Cache In Trash Out

E = Event

M = Multi

T = Traditional

U = Unknown/Mystery

V = Virtual

W = Webcam

 

All others show the "traditonal" icon (at the moment)
