Hey all,
Sorry to bug the board with another newbie to the 660 question but I did a search here and google and didn't come up with a definitive answer.
I made a poi file that works fine with about 950 locations. I created an 8 bit, 22x22 (windows format) icon file with photoshop.
Problem is, I still just get a gray dot. I tried 16x16 as well.
Any suggestions? I'm thinking the format of the .bmp was wrong as I played with layers then flattened in photoshop but really want to know if I'm using the right size icon to begin with before I blow away 3 hours + on this... haha.
Everyones been great help on other questions to so thanks for that as well.

22x22 should be fine, the maximum is 24x24.

have you names the bmp exactly the same as the POI (albeit with a .bmp extension rather than .csv)? and uploaded them both at the same time using poi loader?

Yup. did all that, I think it's in my .bmp creation method. was 8 bit but I can make others work now, just not the one I want.
Thanks for the quick reply. Nice unit other than this problem.
I do like the fact that I can just rename the poi on the nuvi and load in others and still have my old custom poi categories(stumbled onto that last night playing around.
