Mapsource Question

[shedracer]

Is it possible to import a custom waypoint icon into Mapsource? I have created an icon, which I have on the 276c and I am currently adding it to over 100 waypoints, which obviously takes a great deal of time. If I could import it into Mapsource, then it would save a great deal of time, and my fingers wouldn`t get all crossed up.

 

[Number 6]

Version 6.5 onwards

Added the ability to batch-edit certain properties of user waypoints

. from Garmin's website.

Not sure if this helps. You can download the latest version of Mapsource free here, http://www.garmin.com/support/mappingsw.jsp

I'm not 100% sure that I'm right but I think it will work.

1 - you have modified one of the existing icons in the 276C. OK. This icon will be used for all waypoints using this ID.

2 - you can download your waypoints to MapSource, change icon-ID using the batch edit functionality, and then upload the updated waypoints to the 276C.

In general one should not use the the 276C for creating and saving waypoints, routes or tracks. This you can do MUCH easier in MapSource.
