In Basecamp put all the data (waypoints, tracks and routes) you need on the SD card. In case the device loses its index it can easily be resorted by:

• Turn the device off
• Remove the SDcard
• Turn the device on and let it start fully
• Turn the device off
• Put the SDcard back
• Turn the device on and let it start fully
• Now you should have access to all the items again

The more data you put on the device the longer the boot time will be.

• gmapbmap.img : this is a base map (The world map that came with the GPS if nothing is changed)
• gmapsupp.img : this is the map you can place on your GPS. You can download a map from the Openstreetmap for Garmin website
• gmaptz.img : this is the timezone file

• Custom waypoint symbol creation and saving
• Update BaseCamp
• Close BaseCamp
• Create the symbols with your favorite program. We used Gimp
  • The image must be 16×16 pixels
  • Save as Portable Network Graphics (.png) file
  • Names can be 000.png to 063.png
  • Transparency is allowed by using the RGB color Magenta (255,0,255), is hex color code: ff00ff
• On Windows 10
  • Save the image to: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Garmin\Custom Waypoint Symbols
  • Start Basecamp
  • Create a waypoint
  • Check if you can change the symbol to a newly added symbol
  • Connect the Garmin device
    • Note: No more than 56 custom symbols can be saved on the device
    • Save the symbols to: This PC > Garmin [device name] (Letter:) > Garmin > CustomSymbols

When there should be items (like waypoints and tracks) on the device but they are not shown there might be an indexing problem.
Warning: This will erase all data and settings: How to reset your device.
