Using xImage for Customized Waypoint Icons
Use xImage to exchange images between your computer and your
GPSMAP 278. You can download and save screenshots of any
screen shown on your unit. xImage also allows you to download
customizable splash screens and waypoint symbols from compatible
GPS units, customize them (if you have an image editing program
on your computer), and send them back to your GPS unit.
You can download xImage from the Garmin Web site at
www.garmin.com/ximage/. See the Help le for complete
instructions about using xImage.
Custom POIs (Points of Interest)
Your GPSMAP 278 accepts custom POI databases, available from
various companies on the Internet. Some custom POI databases
contain alert information for points such as safety cameras and
school zones. Your GPSMAP 278 can notify you when you approach
one of these points.
After downloading your POI database, use the Garmin POI loader to
install the POIs to your unit. The POI Loader is available at
www.garmin.com/extras.
CAUTION: Garmin is not responsible for the consequences of
using a custom POI database or the accuracy of third-party data.
