Garmin Edge 830 Custom Waypoint Symbol Issue

Unread post by sa77 »

Hi
I followed the GPSrChive guide to customize images for waypoints. All ok in BaseCamp, but...
My problem is on Garmin Edge 830: I created a folder named CustomSymbols (located in Garmin/CustomSymbols folder of the device) and I put in all file .BMP in 24x24 size.
When I eject device by PC and I restart it, I can't find any "Custom" page to select my customized icon for waypoint.

I tried too add a subfolder "Custom" in Garmin/CustomSymbols/ but no solve; I modified in Custom_Symbols; CustomWaypoints...no solve anyway!

What's my mistake?
Thank You

We do not have any bicycle computers to test, but do feel pretty confident none of them support Custom Waypoint Symbols. This feature was developed primarily for Garmin Outdoor Handheld Recreation devices.

Should you discover a method that does work, please do share that with us!
