POI Pictures

I have a Tom Tom 300 and have quite a number of poi`s on it. The problem is that some of the poi`s have the same icon on the map (an orange square with a black star in middle) and therefore i do not know what the poi is. Can you change the icons and how do you do it if possible? I would be grateful for any help. :D [/size]

Those are default icons which means that there is no .bmp file of the same name as the POI file (barring extension, of course) in the Map directory. The answer is to put in the .bmp file supplied with the POI or make your own.

All pois you make up can have there own bmp just make sure the ov2 and bmp file have the same name for each file ie

homebase bmp & homebase ov2
dixons bmp & dixons ov2

you can make these in paint make them in 22x22 size
If you say what you want i might be able to email you the ones you want

Thanks for your replies, here is a list of the current poi`s using same icon on my unit;
Amusement parks
Broadcasters
Cashpoints
Fast food restaurants
Lpg
Pubs
Station service
Waitrose.
As you can see it gets a bit confusing with the same icon Rolling Eyes

They were downloaded from POIhandler.com and only when put on unit did i see the matching icons. Can i download them from here because i have had trouble trying to make my own?
Thanks
