Just make your own.
From memory:
22 pixels square
limited colours
name exactly as the .ov2 file
save a 24 bit bmp
The free graphics progs that come with a lot of computers will do this. _________________ TTGO 700 (dead)

Hi Simon,
Welcome to the forum !!!!!
as sgould said it's really easy to make your own using MSPaint (Standard with windows).
I don't know of any site which has .bmp's to use with POIS.......... _________________ Thanks,
Chris |

Hi,
I've already had a go with MS Paint, but I'm not very artistic, so I was hoping to find somewhere online. I've had a search around, but can't find anywhere, so I think it's back to MS Paint.
Thanks |

Hi simonf999,
I have created some icons for other forum members and may be able to do the same for you if you email or PM me with your requirements.
I can't promise anything as I'm busy trying to move house at the moment, but I'll do my best. :-)
Regards,
Bo Peep. _________________ TomTom 730

PC Icons files (.ico) look efective and is an easy option. Just resample and save as .bmp. Loads on your PC and Google will reveal loads more. |
