Can I change Cash Dispenser POI icon ?

[keithjeffrey]

Is it possible to change the Cash Dispenser icon ( which is a $ sign ) to a good old £ sign ?
Thinking about , I would also like to change the name of the POI from Cash Dispenser to Cashpoint too , is this possible ?
I am of course referring to the pre-installed POI's that came with the 730T.
A small niggle that I would like to change if I can.

It isn't really possible to modify the contents of the built in POI files, I have seen methods written that allow you to take the POI.dat file to bits to add / modify the file but it is far from easy, and I am not too sure you can actually modify the icons at all, just the locations - Mike

But you can of course download the cash machines POIs from this site instead.
You can then change the name and icon of those to whatever you like.
Unfortunately you can't then delete the original TomTom ones. You can switch them off so they don't show up on screen, but they will still appear in the POI menu; you just have to remember to use the other one.

In the POI download page they are under "ATM".
To change the name, just rename the "ATM.ov2" file to whatever you like (mine is called "Cash Machines.ov2).
And to change the icon you will need to use a "Paint" type program to remake the image (MS Paint included with Windows would do at a pinch).
But you might find the "ATM" one that comes with the download is OK for you anyway.
Just remember the name of the .bmp icon file must match the name of the ov2 file.

Thank you Gentlemen for your pearls of wisdom.
I have taken your advice Andy.
I've disabled the Cash Dispenser POI and have made up my own £ sign POI icon and have downloaded the PGPSW ATM POI's , then just renamed both icon and ov2 file to Cashpoints...................Job done !!!
