GarminExport.gsk. SendImagesToGarmin.gsk ChildCode2UD.gsk
Hints2UserNotes.gsk FindStatGen43Beta.gsk Google_Map_V3.gsk
GMapShot.gsk GetCachesOnRoute.gsk MyMunzeesCSV.gsk

2. My-Macro-Run-Button-Bar
Clicking on an image button will run
the linked macro. The blue circled
one is the link to all the macros I have
installed.
Hovering the cursor over an image
brings up a flag that tells you what
that button does.

33. This is the end of the slides.
It is now Question Time
After that, or now if there is enough time and/or interest, I could show you how to
set up your own Macro Buttons Bar complete with image icons.
If anyone would like to get some further help I will be available at times over the
weekend.
This presentation will be followed by a GSAK Advanced session led by Heiner.
Thank you for coming. I hope that this has been a good learning experience.
