Custom Wapoint Symbols

[+c88m]

Ok how do you create/get custom waypoints for your gps ? I own a GPSMAP 60 and would like to add my own symbols for my caches and benchmarks . I looked at Garmins page but didn't see anything on the downloads area so I'm assuming that there's a program or some method that I don't know about that can do this . Also since I'm talking about upgrades has anyone had problems with this (GPSMAP 60) ? I haven't but there are upgrades on Garmins page about some problems (which I haven't had yet) .

Had this very question myself not so long ago, it is pretty easy and works great.

 

You need to download an application from garmin called xImage.

Good Luck,

HERE'S A THREAD about xImage from when it was first released.

 

And HERE'S ONE about custom waypoints in MapSource.

 

I don't think Magellan's there yet

That software works for colored GPSr but mine is a B/W GPSMAP 60 so will this work on mine ? I don't want to load any software and screw it up so I can't use it .

Garmin's site lists the supported receivers. All the units listed are color display models.

I also have the gpsmap 60 and it worked fine. I just had trouble finding things that look good as way pts. The back ground color is also not the same as the color. I think ours keeps it white or clear. I did this a few weeks ago so I will have to look at them again.
