What size/colour depth should these be?

Am I right to presume I just stick the POI file and the BMP file (which must be the same name) in the same folder as the main map files on which they plot?

If I create POI's on the PPC itself, where does the file get put? In the same folder as the map data on which the POI's appear?

22 x 22, maximum 256 colour. Smile

Yes. If you use spaces then these should be the “_” underscore character. Smile

Yes, that’s correct. Thumbs Up

Thanks.

Now off to find a utility set that will convert from something Garmin's Mapsource will export to, to TomTom's POI format...

Manual massaging of the data is never fun :-(

It looks like my fellow moderator Oldie's POIconverter will do the job. Download it for free here.
