66sr doesn't show custom waypoint's symbols

Unread post by Acchiappafunghi »

As in the subject
I used some custom symbols on my old 60CS and tried to import them on the 66SR, with no success.
Tried differents name's formalism, and file formats, but in any case I cannot open the custom page in the symbols menu.
All imported waypoints with a custom symbol name show a blu flag on the screen
Please help
Thanks Giuseppe

Update:
I put on 66SR 5 symbols from "new 24x": Airport - Blind - Church - Contact, Big Ears - Contact, Pig and Diamond: in this case for the very first time 66SR opened the custom page, BUT with only 3 symbols: Contact, Big Ears - Contact, Pig and Diamond.
Very weird

Update 2
I performed some tests, and discovered that my 66SR want at least a comma in the symbol's file name.
I put comma in the last position before the dot, and also followed by a blank before the dot, in both cases it worked
Anyway, old 60CS custom symbols (16X), with a comma appended in the file name, are still missing in the 60CS menu
My software revision is 3.30
