I know on my Garmin 60csx there is a way to have custom waypoint icons on there. But I really can’t find a answer on how to get them to work. Any help.
Google garmin 60 custom gsak icons, there was a fairly easy set of instructions on gsak forums(I think, so google).
I think that’ll get you what you want.
You’ll need the garmin software to push the icon’s over, and there is a macro you will need as well. But both were listed in the discussion I read 2 years ago..
What Garmin software are you referring to? There are tons of different software installations offered by Garmin. And GSAK doesn’t work on OS X so I can’t use that to do the custom icons. I can manage my files manually but I just need to know how to get the icons over to the GPS. Thanks
Well I figured out that program is called XImage from Garmin. It is windows only. For the Mac there is no comparable program. I booted up my Windows 7 RC1 virtual machine on my Mac and installed XImage and got the icons over. Well that was all fine and dandy if I managed all my waypoints and caches on Windows. But since I can’t get the custom icons to transfer back to the Mac Garmin software it doesn’t really matter anyways. Thanks for the help.
Here is an easier method.

Sorry didn’t know you ran a mac, I run parallels on my mini to run gsak at home, in the truck I’ve got a 8 year old dell laptop to do the navigation, at some point after the lottery caches me out I’ll build a mini into the cachemobile and have it run everything :>
