Hi, Mark

I meant that i don't see any flashing or morsing (flashing or beeping) in GPS or MS.

They are visible in MS and in my 60csx too, so mkgmap works fine.

Yeah i've already seen this like the note.
But as i mentioned above, i thought, that may be their would be really a flashing light visible.
But may be this works only with special Garmin marine Gps or it is a missunderstanding by myself of cgpsmapper manual.
My interpretation of e.g. page 40 cgpsmapper manual Ver 2.4.5 
"If the value is a letter, then the light type is set to 0x0b(Morse code) and letter is used as a Morse code letter."
was, that then the light is flashing in GPS and/or MS with this code and not "only" an information written in the poi properties
section.

cheers
