The National Trust and English Heritage are two charities which have properties and land available for visitors.
https://www.poigraves.uk/ provides some free Points of Interest files with National Trust and English Heritage the most likely to be of use.
I chose to download the National Trust garmin gpx file:
Select POI Files >> National Trust
Download and extract The Garmin GPX file, this will give you three files:
1) GARMIN_INSTRUCTIONS that can be ignored
2) The_National_Trust.BMP This icon needs to be copied into personal icons see help: https://www.alpinequest.net/en/help/v2/ ... stom-icons
3) The_National_Trust.GPX This needs a small amount of editing as below:
(i) Open the file in Notepad
(ii) Use Edit > Replace
Find <cmt>
Replace <sym>xxx</sym><cmt> Replace All (where xxx is the name you have given the bmp file in your custom icons folder)
(iii) Save the File and down load to AQ Imported landmarks
The English Heritage procedure is similar except I chose to crop their icon to get rid of a bit of white border.
This is part of the output including the famous Stonehenge
Enjoy
David
