+Centex Trekker Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I have 2 GPSrs, a Garmin 60CS and a Magellan SporTrak. I have EasyGPS set up to load waypoints to both. Last night I was going to upload waypoint to my 60CS when I noticed I had a "Crosshair" icon (synbol) instaed of the normal "Waypoint" symbol. WTF? I also noticed you don't get as many symbols with the SporTrak. I went to the GPS setting after I clicked on "Send" and discovered it was set the SporTrak instead. I changed it back and all was normal again. BTW, you can change all the waypoints at once to the geocaching symbol. Quote Link to comment
+jj3 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Centex, I just ran through this exercise from a stored waypoint set. I selected all waypoints, right clicked on the top one and selected 'edit waypoints'. It then brought me to a 'bulk waypoint editor' where you can change all waypoints to a certain icon, ie closed treasure chest. hope this helps Quote Link to comment
+DBleess Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) Make sure you have the 60CS in the GPS list, <Add GPS> if it isn't there. Every time you change GPS units you have to change the active GPS in preferences. I have a Garmin 48 and a Garmin 60C Highlight the GPS that you are connecting to easyGPS in the preferences list and that set of icons will be the ones that are active. There are also typos in the names for many of the 60C marine navaid icons in easygps. Edited July 30, 2004 by DBleess Quote Link to comment
+Centex Trekker Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 Thanks, but I know how to change from one to the other, not that I've loaded any waypoints in my SporTrak since I got the 60cs. I was just saying that when I have the 60CS selected, that I get a lot more symbols in the dropdown list when editing. Quote Link to comment
+DBleess Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Ok, THAT is because EasyGPS knows the onboard default symbol set for each GPS it supports. For my old Garmin 48: and for my new Garmin 60C: The software is merely letting you know that for the current active GPS, there are a given set of waypoint symbols that the software can communicate to the GPS. I have noticed two problems with my 60C so far: 1. If you look at the picture, you'll see that a bunch of the navaids' symbol names have been given errors by EasyGPS 2. EasyGPS also cannot use the 24 custom uploadable/user defined waypoints of the 60C With an earlier revision of EasyGPS they had a similar error with the X-Mark symbol on the 48. Quote Link to comment
