| Posted by kasworld POI symbols (grey dot) To all I am a newbie to this site and have just recently registered and updated my Garmin Nuvi 360. However, when the camera symbol appear it seems to be followed by a grey dot and do not know what this means or how to remove it. Any advise appreciated. Thanks |

| Posted by awskong POI symbol If you did not download the POI icons and put them in the same folder as the POI files, they will appear as grey dots on the map. |

| Posted by caesar Grey dot on screen That is interesting. After dumping Cyclops and loading GPS Data Team POI's everything is normal...voice warning, onscreen camera warning in a box...but no camera icons. And no dot either. The dots were definitely there previously and also the appropriately coloured .bmp camera icons also appeared on screen. Loading sox.exe I get a dos terminal type application that will not open, and error message when loading re the .bmp conversion. Any ideas? |

Hi, Mark After reading your reply, I remeber that there are only 2 bmp display on my 3790T, then I check them and both of them are 8 bit bmp. Thereby, you are right. I just resize all of bmp to 8 bit bmp, I am confident that they will work on my 3790T. |

| Posted by robak65 Re: Camera Icon This is a newbie question I'm sure but how do you convert the icon to 8bit in MS Paint. The choices I have with "save as" are Monochrome Bitmap (*.bmp;*dib) 16 Color Bitmap (*.bmp;*dib) (that throws a warning that some color will be lost and it does affect some icons more than others. 256 Color Bitmap (*.bmp;*dib) 24-bit Bitmap (*.bmp;*dib) Then JPEG,GIF,TIFF and PNG Is 16 Color the same as 8 Bit :?: |

| Posted by robak65 See missing Icons 3790T To answer my own question... "Saving the image as a "256 colour bitmap" in MS paint should give you an 8-bit image." And I can now confirm this to be true and works on my 3790T. I opened the Icon image in paint and saved with the file format 256 color bitmap. Uploaded my POI's with the POI Loader and it now shows icons where it didn't before :D |
