Default POIs now Black and White

After 'helping' a mate install a new v8 map on his TT one, the TomTom POI icons have gone a rather boring black and white. Custom POIs are unaffected. This is on the drop down list to select them, as well as on the map when browsing

Reinstalling a known good POI.dat file hasn't worked. Is this info kept in another file, like custom POIs have a *.bmp and *.ov2?

It still functions well, but the POIs dont stand out on the map

Yeah, one of the 'improvements' of Navcore 8. (another reason some users such as Andy_P and I are still on N7 Confused

)

At least it makes it easier to pick out the PGPSW ones from the TomTom ones! Smile

you mean it's MEANT to be like that?

well words fail me. just have to break the news to my mate - the good news that his unit isn't broken in any way.................. and the bad news that it's a 'design feature'.............. or have I got that the wrong way round? Laughing Out Loud

oh, well, if he wants to go back, its easy enough, as I insisted he made a FULL backup using a file manager rather than HOME like he thought..... sigh. Cant help thinking things could be easier. and yes, Anita, the custom ones do stand out more. Perhaps I'll just tell him to get custom POIs and not use the default ones.............. Laughing Out Loud
