I'd like it to act as layer I can select or unselect. Is there a way to do that? Thank you. Tom Tags gps layer waypoints

There will be utilities out there to do this. Then you can open your GPX file in SkyDemon and import it as a folder of waypoints, which can be turned on and off easily.

Do you know by any chance if there's a way to customize the whole folder so the waypoints have a specific icon instead of doing it one by one (I have 400+ waypoints).
