Change POI icons

Postby KOsmix » Thu Aug 11, 2011 12:39 pm

I have a Mio Spirit 480 (Win CE 6) unlocked with Visual, iGO Primo 1.2 V9.2.0.191493 (11 May 2011). Does anyone know how to change the standard POI icons? Example: If a have a standard icon for the gas station I want to change this with the company logo (similar to the icons displayed on POI plaza). I guess it's something related to the branding.zip but I don't know how exactly I can perform this operation.
Thank you.

There are many ways. Easy and complex. The easiest is to change to the Stancy Branding for Primo 1.2 after which you will find you have loads of branded POI icons and loads to choose from.
Just backup your current branding.zip, then delete it from your Primo folder and put the new one in it's place. Sometimes it is also recommended to put/replace poi_visiblities.txt in your Save folder. If this file is included in the latest download below, do that.

Thanks to Stancy for the link.

Is this only for Europe or is it for NA also? I took a look at the included .txt and I don't recognize many of the names. NA icons can be changed very easily in iGO8.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

"Stancy" is from a European (East Europe, I think) country, so many of the POI icons and brands are Euro-centric. However, many brands and icons are common with North America (Fast Food, some gas stations, etc), so it can be used there as well with some degree of success. And certainly, those with the proper skills can edit the files to include even more 'local' icons. It's pretty easy once you figure out the structure. I doubt it would work in iGO 8x though <<<---just guessing here.

I think that you are very correct about it working in iGO8. If someone downloads MY iGO8, the icons are there. Also, those Stancy icons aren't really valuable in NA. Good find though.
