Hi John,
with geoaching icons, it's a little bit complicated

firstly check this manual: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual ... hing_icons (http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual:geocaching_icons)
also I suggest to check some already existing geocaching packs and use them as sample, for example here: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3048 (http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3048)

Hello,
sorry I have read this and other english manuals, but I don´t understand it.
In german forum there is nobody, who can give me an answer.

I see many Icons with colored signs at the inside of the icon. I don´t want this.

Where I can found the Icons in Locus? Can I edit three of this with an extern editor?

oki, method is quite simple

1. download attached file "geocaching_icons.zip" and place it into Locus/icons directory
2. open in some text editor file Locus/config.cfg and change link to geocaching icon pack, like this
geocaching_icon_pack=geocaching_icons.zip
start Locus and it should work. Check also content of the zip file
