I'm having a few issues with assigning custom waypoint icons...



1. Is there a way to change the icon of regular waypoints? Assigning them <type>waypoint</type> and creating a custom icon for them does not work. The regular waypoint icon is too large and obscures the map, particularly when zoomed out.



2. Some 'types' seem to be recognised and others not. I can get custom icons for 'campgrounds' and 'lodging' but 'museum' and 'convenience store' just show up as regular waypoints.



3. 'restaurant' type waypoints show up with their own waypoint icon, in keeping with the orux theme. It refuses to change to my own custom waypoint .png



Are there solutions to these problems?

I have a GPX track with a route connecting waypoints but also with a waypoints marking services (campgrounds, eateries etc.) nearby to the route.



Opening the gpx file in a text editor it seems that the waypoints that make up the route are simply designated 'waypoint' in the line of code...

 <sym>Waypoint</sym>



... but that the services waypoints are designated...

 <sym>Lodging</sym>

<sym>Campground</sym>

<sym>Convenience Store</sym>

etc.



When I open the file with a website like GPS Visualizer these services waypoints show up with appropriate icons. When I open it with Orux Maps all the waypoints look the same.

To give them the appropriate icons I tried putting a .png image named 'campground' in the 'customwpts' folder and added the line 'campground' in the customwpts.txt.

This didn't work, however. What am I doing wrong?
