+Scorpion King Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I am using a Garmin III. I have ONE cable that : connects it to my serial port on my compter, and also connects it to my 12 volt cigarette lighter. I am currently using disposable batteries (hoping Santa will bring me a set of NiMHis). Does anyone know if that cable will also charge my batteries (while connected to 12 volt) if I get rechargables..?? Is there any software available to add new waypoint icons/names for either a GPS or a Mapsource program for the computer..?? Seems like I could use a few new ones now and then. Thanks, Scorpion King Quote Link to comment
Vlad Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 no it won't charge your batteries no matter what kind they are... your gps already has a comprehensive list of waypoint icons but if you are looking for the most extensive list possible be sure to download the latest firmware for the III from garmin's website.

+Prime Suspect Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I don't think Garmin has ever issued an update for the III that included additional waypoint icons. It would require a completely different icon selection interface. Their may be hacks available to allow you to alter the existing icon set. Try googling. Quote Link to comment
