POI Missing Icons

[santrix]

Im sure someone posted about this but cant find it, no oine replied anyway.

If i use the poi loader to upload pois from mapsource that all have nice little icons for camping etc, any reason why the zumo just shows them as black dots, is it to do with the NT software/compression not recognising silly little icons etc? or am i being stoooopid....

Custom POI's need to have a .bmp file of the icon you want loading at the same time as the set of POI's. It needs to have the same file name as the .gpx or .csv file your uploading with the waypoints so the Zumo can associate it to the picture.

Cheers, where can i find the .bmp s of the generic icons used in mapsource, you know the camping, museums etc?

The sites that have the collections of POI's for download also have the .bmp files.
