Garmin Explore Custom Symbols

Unread post by robert »

Query about Garmin Explore web app.
Is there any way to import the custom symbols that can be used in the GPRs and Basecamp into Explore?

None that we are currently aware of.

It is our opinion that the Garmin Explore app, either web based or mobile device based, although a year old already, is in its infancy and lacks >90% of the basic functionality requires before it can be considered a viable or workable solution to replace either MapSource or Basecamp. Progress has been excruciatingly slow, if not barely perceptible with the development of Explore, and Garmin still have a long. long way to go.

We would also caution you to make archival backups of any and all data on your GPSr before using Explore. There are multiple scenarios under which a users data can be permanently deleted from the online database and/or the GPSr internal memory as well as the microSD card (when installed).

Also, be aware that any existing waypoints imported into Explore will be stripped of all data other than waypoint name and coordinates, so while everything looks OK on the surface, you may be destroying your data by using Explore, in its current form.
