approach signal waypoints - Annäherungshinweise - Edge 1030

try to find out if approach signalisation to a stored waypoint works with the Edge series?
Base camp allows settings of distances with a waypoint, Unfortunately Edge 1030 ignores indicating when arriving near this waypoint.
Is there any knowledge here about settings activating an alarm ?

    The tcx format supports the older course points type, including eat, drink and first aid, which is why I suggested that you could edit the tcx file if needed, if the tool that created it did not support them. In the case of RWGPS it does not appear that editing is needed.

    There are quite a few newer course point types that are only supported in the FIT file format so unless the tool outputs data in the FIT file format or you now how to change a FIT file you will not be able to make use of those newer types on the Edge.This why was I said it is unlikely that RWGPS supports all course point types.

    Most of the newer types aren't going to be useful for much anyway (outside of directions, which the OP isn't likely interested in).

    ==============================

    RWGPS outputs FIT formats too.

    The FIT sdk shows the following as the course point types.

    Generic = 0,
    Summit = 1,
    Valley = 2,
    Water = 3,
    Food = 4,
    Danger = 5,
    Left = 6,
    Right = 7,
    Straight = 8,
    FirstAid = 9,
    FourthCategory = 10,
    ThirdCategory = 11,
    SecondCategory = 12,
    FirstCategory = 13,
    HorsCategory = 14,
    Sprint = 15,
    LeftFork = 16,
    RightFork = 17,
    MiddleFork = 18,
    SlightLeft = 19,
    SharpLeft = 20,
    SlightRight = 21,
    SharpRight = 22,
    UTurn = 23,
    SegmentStart = 24,
    SegmentEnd = 25,
    Invalid = 0xFF

    RWGPS has cuesheets corresponding to all of the other than the ones in red. The green ones all get converted to the appropriate icons. RWGPS outputs the bold ones as "generic". This could be because the TCX->FIT converter on the devices don't all convert these type properly. That is, the problem with supporting all of the types might be due to the Garmin's conversion(not RWGPS).

    RWGPS outputs the bold ones as "generic" in FIT too (probably, because not many Garmin devices support the newer types).

    RWGPS provides two additional types: "control" and "climb".
