Hello folks. I am new to the Garmins. I want to upload new pictures
for my waypoints into the Vista HCx. I believe it must be possible,
there is a space inside the receiver. But I don't know why. Can you
help me?
Thanx for your time.
For the Vista Cx (I guess the Vista HCx is the same) Garmin supply a
tool called "Ximage" which permits the download and upload of
user-defined icons for waypoints. There are 24 user-defined
waypoint images (by default these are all blue circles).
You have to draw the icons yourself in a graphics package, and they
must be the same size and pallet (16x16 pixels and 256 colours, same
definition of "transparent" colour, etc.).
( The process works for the Vista Cx, I have a couple of custom
waypoint symbols which I use regularly )

It works well. Thanx.
BTW, do you know how to download a .gpx file (daily tracklog stored on
a SD card) from the machine into a computer? Maybe another software
needed...
Either
a) Eject the card, put it into a card reader slot
b) Put the GPS into "mass storage mode" after connecting via USB cable. Use
these two steps to find the mode change -> Setup Menu -> Interface . The
GPS then becomes the most expensive USB Memory Stick you ever bought, and
the GPX files can be copied off the device.
Translate/interpret the GPX files with numerous bits of software.
Removing the USB lead will cause the GPS to re-boot and return to normal
operation
