Hi everyone,



I have been using Oruxmaps for a while now and find it very useful. One thing I would like to be able to do is add http://www.historicroadrally.co.uk/hrcr/navigation/tulips.htm">tulip diagrams to a cycling route to show me where to go when I reach a junction.



I understand I should be able to do this using custom waypoint icons saved into the customwpts folder and then setting a proximity alarm on the waypoint to alert me when I approach the junction.



I have a few questions:



1) Will all the waypoint icons always be shown over the top of the map, or can I switch them off so I can see the map underneath?

2) How can I associate the waypoints with the custom icons to a route?

3) Can I store the route and the waypoints with custom icons in a single file to send to other people? If I export with KML or KMZ format, will all the custom icons be saved as part of the export file, or would the PNG files also need to be copied into the customwpts folder of the other person's Oruxmaps?



Many thanks!
