can Basecamp show custom cache icons expprted from GSAK?

Former Member over 10 years ago

Is it possible to see the custom cache icons in Basecamp, like MapSource, instead of treasure boxes when exported from GSAK?

No luck so far.

Can you tell us what you have tried so far? BaseCamp can handle custom map symbols by putting them in the right place.

The only thing I tried is what I do to see them in MapSource but changing the output to Basecamp in the GSAK. The symbols are l use are located in C:\Users\Owner\Documents\My Garmin\Custom Waypoint Symbols\Garmin60SCxSymbolGenMacro.gsk

Where do I put them within Basecamp?

Thanks for the link. That is where I have the icons: C:\Users\Owner\Documents\My Garmin\Custom Waypoint Symbols\Garmin60SCxSymbolGenMacro.gsk but only treasure chests show up in Basecamp.

When I opened Basecamp, I was unable to find the custom list so I have no idea how to make the icons appear. I went through all the drop down items twice. I checked help. I missed it...... someplace?

If I am reading the referenced document right, custom icons cannot be loaded on a gps device from Basecamp?

Note the need for either .png or .img files. Yours doesn't seem to be the correct format.
