danoshimano Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have been successfully using custom waypoint icons with Mapsource, GSAK, and my 60Cx. But when I updated my Mapsource install to version 6.15.3, it stopped recognizing the custom icons. They are still in my GPSr. They are still recognized by GSAK. They are still present in Documents \ My Garmin \ Custom Waypoint Symbols. But the Mapsource app refuses to "see" them. (And Garmin's tech support is not bothering to answer.) Can anyone help?

Motorcycle_Mama Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yep. This version has a bunch of issues. I believe there's a discussion about it. If you search for "6.15.3", the thread(s) will probably come up. Quote Link to comment
GeoBobC Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 6.15 looks for the custom waypoints in a different file location. They worked for me once I copied them to C:\Garmin, but that doesn't work for everyone. The preferred solution is to run 6.13.

Well, not exactly empty... I got 54 pages of results and gave up combing through them by the fifth page. Quote Link to comment

I knew you were supposed to be able to search a specific web site with Google, but I hadn't been able to get it to work. Maybe I didn't have the syntax quite right. I've filed this away for future reference. Many thanks for posting this! Quote Link to comment
