QUOTE (OpusTerra @ June 07, 2013 08:39 am) Hi! Fist, let me thank you so much for this great macro! I just could not live without it! Actually I am using Childother.txt to add some extra child types as Entrance, Camping, etc. As I checked "Send Child Points as POI" in the Garmin Export dialog box, they are correctly exported as POI but how can I have a specific bitmap for those additional child waypoints ? They are all shown as Reference Point.bmp As an example, I thought that saving a Camping.bmp file in the GSAK macro folder would do the job but it did not. Regards, Denis The folder to put bitmaps for non-standard child waypoints is the gsak\temp folder. If you put them in there, and make sure the file name exactly matches the child name, then they should be picked up. If the macro cannot find a bitmap then it defaults back to the reference point icon.

This does the job very well except that the gsak\temp folder get erased (refreshed?) quite often and my custom bitmap is disappearing. So I need to manually copy it back in there before executing the GarminExport macro.

Is there a way to avoid this?
