Macros, what are they what do they do ?
n. pl. mac·ros Computer Science“A single, user-defined command that is part of an application and executes a series of commands”
The ones I use most frequently are on my Buttons Bar GarminExport.gsk. SendImagesToGarmin.gsk ChildCode2UD.gsk
Hints2UserNotes.gsk FindStatGen43Beta.gsk Google_Map_V3.gsk
GMapShot.gsk GetCachesOnRoute.gsk MyMunzeesCSV.gsk
WatchlistManager.gsk myGMEv3 (4).gsk
The final one here is the one in the blue circle which takes me to all my installed Macros

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.

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.
