    Default Custom POI logo not visible even if bmp file is placed in USERICON folder

    Hi guys!

    I have some custom kml poi files which I have placed in USERDATA folder and they are visible. However, I have placed the bmp logos for these in USERICON folder but they are still not visible with the correct custom logo. Instead I get the default iGO logo with them, and I cannot distinguish which one is wich on the map.

    Is there any settings I need to do, or any way to make iGO set the correct bmp files to each kml file?

    Regards,

    Christian

    Hard to know what's wrong without looking at the file. But this problem has already been answered

    I have just edited the initial post. I have added the KML file that I use and also the BMP image that i'm trying to use for the locations in the KML file, which doesn't show up as should.

    Spoiler: german Template

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2">
    <!-- mit den ersten beiden Zeilen wird KML begonnen -->
    <!-- es folgt die Hauptkategorie - unabhängig vom eigentlichen Dateinamen --->
    <Document><name>a_Hauptkategorie</name><description>Musterdatei vom März2019</description>
    <!-- Icon-Bitmap angeben für die Haupt-Kategorie -->
    <metadata><igoicon><filename>Hauptkategorie.bmp</filename></igoicon></metadata>
    <!-- jetzt Name für Untergategorie -->
    <Folder><name>b_Unterkategorie-1 usw.</name>
    <!-- Icon-Bitmap angeben für die Unter-Kategorie -->
    <metadata><igoicon><filename>Unterkategorie.bmp</filename></igoicon></metadata>
    <!-- Struktur für einen POI innerhalb des TAG placemark -->
    <Placemark> <name>Kurzbeschreibung zum POI</name>
    <adress>Adresse (Ort) und z.B. ein besonderer Hinweis - Kurzinfo angeben</adress>
    <description>ab hier nun die POI-Umschreibung | und immer schön Sonderzeichen vermeiden ,"& ;<>" hat in Name und Beschreibung nix verloren</description>
    <phoneNumber></phoneNumber>
    <Point><coordinates>16.40548,48.15205</coordinates></Point>
    </Placemark>

    <Placemark><name>fkfhehdflspü</name>

    <!-- man kann man Telefonnummer eintragen -->
    <!-- und kann diese z.B. bei Androd-Primo direkt angerufen werden -->

    <Point><coordinates>16.40548,48.15205</coordinates></Point>
    </Placemark>
    <!-- Unterkategorie abschließen --->
    </Folder>
    <!-- Hauptkategorie abschießen -->
    </Document>
    </kml>
    <!-- wichtig: die *.KML immer als Datei-Typ UTF-8 abspeichern -->

    correct is:
    Igo need first <Document> ; Name Main category
    then
    <Folder> ; Name Subcategory
    -----------------
    <Folder><name>! Subcategory</name> ; Exclamation mark makes category the first in the list
