Hello,

I found your post while looking for a solution to the same problem, and also found the answer in a post from user ransel at fixmygps.info

First learn how to edit igo .zip files, you may need to google for instructions

Inside data.zip, ui_igo9, and branding.zip (if you have it) you will find at least one file named *.icon.
Open all the .icon files with notepad and look for references to "$poi_mapdistant.bmp"
Change these references to poi_mapdistant.bmp

Another way is to open data.zip using Total Commander and navigate to ui_igo9/"your resolution" e.g 800_480, find the file poi_mapdistant.bmp and save a copy to the same folder as $poi_mapdistant.bmp

very goooooooood
