Hi Smeus,

It's easy, You can use TomTom POI's ( .ov2 ) without any modification.

1. Copy the ov2 file + the icon bmp ( read below ) to the folder : root/com.alk.copilot.mapviewer\save on your device.

5. Start CoPilot.

6. CoPilot will take you through a wizard that will allow you to specify the name of the new custom POI set. Then you can designate the category you want it placed in. You can create a new category if you don't want to add it to an existing category. If you add it to an existing category you can create a new subcategory for it.

7. How to remove a custom POI set.
If you want to remove a custom POI set that you didn't get quite right, let's say, you want to replace it with an updated version or you simply don't like the name or category, they are stored in : root\com.alk.copilot.mapviewer\ ( COUNTRY ) \save\user_places.

In that folder you will see a folder(s) with the name(s) of the custom POI set(s) you have added. Just delete the folder of the POI set you want to remove.

You do not need to delete an existing POI set to replace it with an updated file. Just make sure the file you place in the "save" folder has the exact same name as the original had. You only need to delete the POI set if you want to change the category it's in or the icon.

Custom Icons: If you want to use your own custom icon here's how:

1. Create the icon. It must be 24x24 pixels and the color can only be 8 bpp (bits per pixel).
2. Save it as a .BMP file.
3. Place it in the "save" folder along with the custom POI file (.OV2).
4. Make sure the file has the same name as the POI file.
5. Start CoPilot. When you are asked to choose an icon for the new POI set you will see your custom icon available in the list.

Two things are critical: the colour depth cannot be any more than 8bpp and the file must be named the same as the POI file.

Good luck.
