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 file 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.
