+we3dements Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 In this thread: Image Edit for Garmin Color Units explains that the custom icons found is some of the Garmin units can be edited. So I made a few to use with benchmark hunting and am posting it here as well. Benchmark Icons Quote Link to comment

+we3dements Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was going to delete the .zip file with the icons from my web server today because I didn't think anyone used it anymore. I have been away from benchmark and geocaching hunting for a while and had forgoten about this post. After I went over my server logs I noted that it still gets downloaded quite a few times each month since I first posted it. I will leave it there untill whenever. I think I am going to start back at finding benchmarks again after looking over the forums and FAQ. Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks! Those will work good in Google Earth and my GPSTrackmaker too. Quote Link to comment
+TeamBaitBucket Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 This might belong in Software/UNits, but I thought I woud try not making a new thread first. Does anyone have idea on how to get a custom image to display on the garmin for a block of benchmarks at once? The only way I have found to do it to; 1)Download the benchmarks to a loc file, 2)Load that LOC file into Mapsourse 3)Select all waypoint and change the waypoint properties for the Symbol to Customer Image 1 4)With the custom images already uploaded to my 60csx, upload the waypoints to the GPS and they will display with the benchmark symbol? Works well for getting the image to display on the GPSr, but revers engineering does not work, when you download the waypoints it does not bring the symbol with it. Any thoughts on getting it display in the mapping program? Quote Link to comment
mloser Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I created my own icons starting with this set a long time ago to help me keep track of my finds, etc. I have icons for Not Searched For (just a disk image), Found (a disk with a green check), Not found (a disk with a red X), and Destroyed (a disk with a red line through it), and even one for Previously Destroyed (a disk with a question mark), which are marks that are marked Destroyed in the NGS database but that I wanted to search for at one point. I am at work now but will provide those icons and instructions on how to load them. I know they load in my Mapsource program as well as the GPSr. I update my searched-for benchmarks on Mapsource with the appropriate icon, then put it in a matching category. That way I can show or hide any category of mark quickly. Look for more tonight. Quote Link to comment
