Taking Screenshots On A Garmin

Published by

Having downloaded and installed Colorado and New Mexico topo maps onto my Garmin GPSmap 60CSx, I wanted to post a tutorial on how to de-clutter the GPS display by disabling unnecessary maps. It’s a bit difficult for the reader to follow along without some visuals from the GPS, so I found a clever way to capture the Garmin’s display. Here’s how to take screenshots on your Garmin.

1. Download and install the DNRGarmin GPS application.

2. Next, run the app, connect your GPS, and from the GPS menu, select Garmin Screen Shot:

3. From the GPS display window and File menu, choose Save Image to File:

gps_display_window

4. The result is a nice BMP image of your Garmin display:
