Looking at photos on Garmin

Recommended Posts

I don't know about the 62st, but the following works on many Garmin devices:

Specifically, files can be placed in the following folders on device:

Photos

\Garmin\GeocachePhotos\Last Character\Second To Last Character\Full Code\

 

Spoiler Photos

<Photos Path>\Spoilers\

 

For example, photos for a geocache with code OXZTXGC would be placed under the path

 

\Garmin\GeocachePhotos\C\G\OXZTXGC\

 

And spoilers would be placed under

 

\Garmin\GeocachePhotos\C\G\OXZTXGC\Spoilers

 

As noted above, there are GSAK macros that will download photos and place in appropriate folder(s) on the device. However, the above can be done manually. Try it out with one photo and see if it works.

Thank you so much for this! I have followed the first link and followed the blog but still the "show photos" tab isn't showing on my GPS. I have now emailed Garmin support as their tutorial seems to imply that it can be done. Will now spend the next few hours trying your other suggestion!
