Unfortunately it does not meet my problem, maybe I was not precise enough: Hi, this is all very valuable information for me, thanks for this. Normaly if you have your symbols copied into a CustomSymbols folder on your device, Symbols specified in a gpx file should be recognised. Then you can assign your custom symbol to any point of a given track prior to export it to your device. You need to setup custom symbols in BaseCamp. I had no success implementing Custom Waypoints on Edge 8 but I will try again. I have a database of 42000 points classified in 15 categories, each catagories has its own symbols. It might not work the first time but it will. (Garmin support up to64 symbols) I have been using POI loader from Garmin to do that but it is no longer working. Then I am using RTW tool from JaVaWa to convert gpx and bmp files into. The name of your bmp file and gpx file must have the same name.įrom BaseCamp you export your waypoints in a gpx file. bpm (24 bits colors and size 24x24 pix by symbols, transparency is set by rgb (255,0,255) magenta. Each waypoint has location, elevation and name. and Outdoor Garmin GPSes.īut to implement this it takes some work:įirst build your Database of Waypoint/POI on BaseCamp, Just a set of point with assign symbol. Proximity alarm do not work on 1030 (at least I am not able to make it work) This was working on Edge 800. If you do not use search Your POI will display on the map when you get close if you are in the zoom range define in your map setup. Select one to show it on the map then press Ride to navigate to the POI. Your POI are displayed by distances, closest first. Those POI can be search on the Edge by navigation tools Navigation/Search/Extras/ (All data base or specific one) In this POI folder you put your GPI file (It's a GPX file containing your POI/Waypoints with their associated Custom Symbols. You have to create a POI folder inside the Garmin folder of you device X:/Garmin/POI/ To have them all on my EDGE I am using POI support. Why bother with POI on Edge? Edge support only 200 Waypoints and I have a data base of more than 42000 POIs. I started working on POI support on Edge 1030 with experiences coming from the edge 800.and follow on products. Use of POI on Edge 1030 and other Edge products, has mentioned, POI support by Garmin evolved along the product line. Thanks a lot - I am close to giving up frustrated:-( Is this possible with the 1030 as well or will I lose this capability?Īny kind of hint is very much appreciated. I was using CompeGPSLand - a very simple program that allows you to drag and drop the POIs to the track - deal done. I am able to add them manually to the course - time consuming and boring. Unfortunately the POIs are getting lost although the FIT format obviously supports the handling of POIs. Converting it into a course will create the FIT file that I can upload/synch with the 1030. When I import the GPX as an activity into Garmin connect this will work. Depending on the track some of these POIs are attached to the GPX files (whenever a track comes "close" to a POI it was added to the track and will show with the tag " and (optionally) with an assigned symbol (tags. I created a lot of POIs (point of interest) and also a lot of GPX tracks. The 1030 should add value to this by being able to route (which it can do) and also adds online functionality (which I am having issues with but this is a separate thread). I used to have a Twonav device that I mainly used to follow predefined tracks which was fine. I am a total newbie with GARMIN so my problem may not even be related to Edge 1030.
