I have a couple of old Garmin eTrex units that I still use quite a bit when out on the trail. I've never been able to find a list of the waypoint icons used on the eTrex (which differ from the underlying MapSource icons), including symbol numbers (as used in .WPT files). So I made my own list - for future reference, and in case it's of use to anyone out there...
On the left is the 29 icons/symbols used on the eTrex. The icons are shown in order, left to right, top to bottom, as they are presented on the eTrex.
