They both, GO and TTN5, use the same files, .ov2 and .bmp for each group.

I believe you use the same files, in the same way.

THANKS OLDBOY
i have them all in my poi menu the only thing i havenoticed which may be of concern is that i have 6 or 7 solid red boxes in there as well a couple of these are pocketgps uk gatso and pocketgps uk mobile they are causing no problems but i was wondering if i had done something wrong
thanks

The red square box usually means that there is no associated bmp file, so the program uses a default icon.

Check that an icon exists and that it has the same name as the ov2 file.

i have checked all my files and they are all paired eg pocketgps uk gatso 20(bmp) and pocketgps uk gatso 20(ov2) i am wondering when i downloaded the file there were many folders with different bmp/ov2 files from which i copy/pasted to my gb map file should i have done this or should i just have done this from one specific folder from yhe download?
any idea?????

I think I'm correct in saying that all the bmp files in the download are of the correct format to work in TT. So whether you use the Standard, or any of the alternatives, there should be no problem.

Normally you would use the .bmp File that is in the same Folder as the .ov2 File. If you then wanted a different .bmp from the 'alternative bmp files' Folder, you would make your selection and overwrite the original.

Do you have as many .bmp Files as there are .ov2 Files in your Map Folder?

Which camera groups have the red box Icon?
