Each POI file comprises of the following:
.ov2 which contais the actual location data
.bmp which is the icon the unit displays
If all your POI locations are showing up as red squares then the .bmp files are missing or in the wrong format - Mike |

Yes it will, where are you getting the POI files from as they are usually supplied as a matching pair of files per POI Category - Mike |

I am not paying for access to a site to have a look at an issue such as this, have you considered the extensive range of accurate and free POI files from this site? - click Here - Mike |
