| Posted by stanblaz Missing Icons in POI files G'day Folks, I am using MobilePC on a netbook. I can't seem to get the icons to show up in my new GPI files, all I get is black squares. I've read through the other posts, tried all suggestions & nothing seems to work. What I have found is if I put all the CSV and BMP files in one sub folder the GPI file generated by POILoader defaults to the sub folder name. I have made sure CSV & BMP files have the same name (including capitalisation) & even tried renaming one of the BMP files to the name of the newly generated GPI file & making sure they are both in the POI folder. All the 'black squares' are where they should be but sure looks crappy. Any help would be appreciated. |

Been there done that. If you look closely at my original post you will notice I reference "CSV and BMP files" in a couple of places. The end result is still black squares. |

| Posted by greenmachineco Missing Icons in POI files I've had the same problem when I use some POI Tools & finally noticed in the bottom lh corner that there is a setting for different icons, ie waypoints icon (icon = black square). This seems to supercede a .bmp file, so I changed it from waypoint to blank space & now my custom icon appears. Icons are easier to see in 2D at 100' to 200'. Too far out and it is not visible. |

What POI tools are you using, the link in your message goes to something that doesn't seem to relate to your answer? All I am trying to to use the Garmin POILoader to load CSV & BMP files. |
