Waypoint labels not displaying

[JoeSilver]

Hi there,

I've just got a Garmin Overlander and have been planning tracks and waypoints in Basecamp. When I export the data to the device the waypoint labels don't appear. Is there a setting that i've overlooked?

Many thanks

I would try map detail here :-

Thanks Nuvi,

Tried that...
It's a bit of a beast. Now Garmin have added the Explorer software to further confuse customers. Can't these guys make user friendly kit?

cheers

Hello Nuvi,
I've just been told by Garmin that the Overlander doesn't support waypoint labels...
Is there perhaps a way to create custom icons for the waypoints with the desired info intead of flags?

Cheers

As far as I am aware custom Icons have a maximum size that they are allowed to be and it is very small (24 X 24 pixels) so I don't think you are going to be able to create a custom Icon that contains text

Yes, you're right, just been through that exercise.
All in vain as the overlander just resets all the waypoint to blue flags
