Additional waypoint icons

 

Is there any way to add additional waypoint icons into a garmin map60csx. I see a place for custom waypoints, they look like blue purple dots under the selectable waypoints.
Can i download some to mapsource?
Any help thanks.

I got a Zumo but just find

I got a Zumo but just find one thats the right size and save it with the 001, 002 name in the folder that contains the blue dots. It will substitute your file.

Additional Waypoint Icons

Ok I got the mapsource icons to work and they show up on the GPS unit .
Now how about
On the unit itself for ex.
When you mark a new waypoint you arrive at the screen for selecting the name
information
icon
When you highlight the icon and press enter to select the icon there are 24 purple squares with blue circles in them.The header says Custom.
How do you add these ?
Thanks again

That I honestly do not know

That I honestly do not know but would be interested in finding out. Just lacking the time to do the research, trail and error method.

Motorcycle Mama seems to always locate an answer somewhere. Any ideas MM?

I don't think the Zumo

I don't think the Zumo supports custom waypoint icons (yet), but apparently you can do in on the 60CS using xImage.

Take a look at this thread on Geocaching.com. (Note that this thread is 2.5 years old, but it seem like it might still apply.)

Also, take a look at this page which has a bunch of FAQs on the 60C and 60CS.

Note that this is for Waypoints/Favorites. For Custom POIs (as has been stated), you need to create a bmp (24x24 or smaller) and name it with the same name as your POI file and put it in the same directory as your POI file when you run POI Loader.

Additional Waypoint Icons

Downloaded xImage , works great You can even use photographs very easy thanks.
