Hiding waypoint labels when printing a map

Former Member over 11 years ago

The map I'm trying to print for hiking is cluttered with waypoint icons & labels; and, with photo thumbnails. The presence of these extraneous items considerably obscures the contour lines and generally makes the map look like crap.

Do you guys currently have a way to address the following use case? I would like to print a hiking map from Basecamp and selectively disable which waypoint icons show up.

Some things I have tried unsuccessfully:

Manipulating the 'detail' slider that appears in the transparent instrument cluster at the bottom of the 'Print Assistant : Preview / Print'; this has no effect on my waypoint icons.
Toggling 'Show Labels' and 'Show Overlays'; this has no effect on my waypoint icons
Going into Prefs : Display : Hide Map Features. None of the toggles here apply to my own waypoints.
Duplicating MyTrip list into 'MyTrip_ForPrinting' and then deleting the unwanted waypoints from the 'MyTrip_ForPrinting' list (they also get deleted from my main list!)

I'm kind of out of ideas here.

Thanks!

Can't you just put the track into a separate list and then print that?

Isn't that #4? That's what I usually do. Deleting waypoints should only affect other lists if they are "deleted from my collection", not just by removing them from a list.

You can do 2 things with waypoints in a list. Remove them from that list or delete them, in which case they are deleted from all lists.

You can also just send the track you're wanting to print to a new list. That way you won't get all those other points.
