Adding icons to my POIs

I have downloaded many POIs and would like to associate an Icon to them. At the moment they appear as black dots.

How am I able to correct this?

Thankyou

Icons

Well if you have downloaded the POI you will want to associate a bmp file with the POI. Just save the bmp file the same as the POI file. The file names must be the same. The only difference will be the extensions.

Hi
For a Garmin? Download both Garmin POI BMP and CSV files to your computer before you load them with the POI Loader software.

All avail here

Both files are avail on the download page. The challenge is if you want a different image. Then follow naming and size rules.

associating bit map files

So far I have switched to a PC from my MAC, downloaded bit map file and CSV files, checked that the names are identical with the exception of the extensions. I have put these files in the same folder and uploaded with Garmin POI Loader.

I do get the POIs loaded fine but STILL THE ICONS ARE DEFAULT GARMIN DOTS, NOT THE BIT MAP FILE ICONS I DOWNLOADED.

I am wondering if this is unique to my Zumo 660?

Any ideas? :?:
