A possible POI Icon problem resolution
Sun Jan 02, 2011 5:43 pm
First of all sorry Chas521 could not resist playing 
:pray:
I think I may have partly resolved the issue of changing default icons to user chosen.
Using my method does change the user icon for user entered kml but I cant get them to show in the browse map screen. If you choose find - poi then the new icon shows on map but not on browse.
I am sure there are experts (and I mean that kindly) that could probably sort out in minutes so here goes.
I have created a mini howto in word format so mods if I have posed wrong - sorry please move also problems uploading so guide can be found at

To begin with, 4shared is saying your link is invalid. When I say "If it ain't broke don't fix it" I don't own your device so what you do is completely up to you. I just can't see how messing with a working device and programs will make it work better. So I don't take the chance. If the time comes that my device will drive the car for me while I sleep well then you have something.

keith,
Please forgive my ignorance but what exactly are you trying to do? Is it that you are trying to add icons to the multi-icons I had you download because the icons you want do not appear? I would have thought that the 2700 I linked you to would be plenty and would cover most everything.

Hi Chas,
All I am trying to do is get the screen to show appropriate icons such as kmc for kmc , Shell for Shell garages,
Barclay's for barclays bank, Halifax for Halifax bank instead of the blue generic dollar sign for banks etc
Yes your banding.zip has a lot to choose from but 90% relate to North America and the remainder international. There are quite a lot missing for the peasants in Europe

Sorry but problem still exists - seems strange putting branding.zip into map folder though.
e.g. downloaded the 2628 icon batch by Nanuka. In it he has 2 files for banking the first contains 16 icons of which 1 relates to UK (ING) and they are not very popular here, and the other contains 100 icons of which 3 relate to UK banks.
In addition I note that in 320_240 the icons are 32x32 which is rather large 22x22 is much better.
What I may try is to include my version in zip and see what happens ( AFTER a backup of course )
Regards
Keith
