Hi,
Does anybody know if you can add additional icons to those that are used as the "Map Symbols" (i.e. those that you can assign to favorites using the "Change map Symbol" and look like small 10x10 icons)..

Regards
PeterSm.

The only way to change it is to save the Favourites as a POI file and then assign a BMP icon to the file.

You'd need a POI file for each differenticon you want to use.

To do this open NotePad and copy the following line into it

Quote:
Longitude,Latitude,Name


Then enter your POIs in the following format

Quote:
0.272040367,51.44316159,Bluewater


with each new one on a new line so the result should look like this

Quote:
Longitude,Latitude,Name
-1.3383,52.2714,Some Place
0.272040367,51.44316159,Bluewater
-1.4465635,51.45678,Somewhere
-0.224832,52.0694,Somewhere Else


Save the result as "MY POI.CSV" (without quotes) and make sure it's not called "MY POI.CSV.TXT", "MY POI.TXT.CSV" or "MY POI"

Then take your selected BMP icon and rename it to MY POI.BMP" (without quotes) It should be no bigger than 24 x 24 pixels

Place the 2 files in your POILoader upload folder with you other POIs and load them to the Nuvi.
