Custom waypoint symbols for marking waypoints

Dear CompeGPSTeam,

With Twonav 3 it was possible to use your own custom symbols to mark+edit waypoints.
As the only needed knowledge was howto zip the symbols into a zip-file, name it as compegps.zip and replace the original file with it, even users with very few knowledge could managed that.
Now with TN4 we don't have access to original compegps.zip to replace it.
A quick and short term solution, implementable with a minimum of effort could be, if TN finds at startup a compegps.zip in ../appdata of internal SD,that it replaces the original with it.

More comfortable, userfriendly solutions might be:
- reading all symbol files you find in ..\appdata
- offer users in TN option to choose between these files
So for example you could have different files for different categories and while marking a waypoint, with pressing symbol button you first choose the category and than the symbol.
This would reduce the need for too much scrolling.
And for those who prefer having all in one file nothing would change as pressing symbol button directly would show the available symbols.

best regards
Gert

  HI,

  It is always possible with Land. So, people who customize their tracks in Land get the default symbol in TN4, I guess.

  Not being able to transfer a work (a little tedious too) done under Land to his GPS must be a bit confusing.

  This is possible for Land and TN3, but in TN4 the access to system files has been restricted, so it is not possible to add zip files with other icons.

  We will consider this possibility for the future, so we can offer the this possibility in some way also in TN4.

  Hi,

  It also means that anyone with trackS with waypoints and / or roadbookS with custom icons in TN3 lose all that work when they buy a new GPS .... It's good to know before you buy.

  Best regards

  I'd like to push this feature request. Not I just really love my own symbols :-) I need them, because they are very helpful for the special activities on my journeys. Moreover one of the key features of TwoNav is the customizability of the system. Please don't give up this unique feature.
