@ Petrberki,

Sometimes you have to do your own thinking:

Google it: JPG to PNG or JPG 2 PNG

There are lots of online website that can convert the file for you or just get a program to do the converting.....

One learns by doing the task for themselves rather than someone doing it for them.

Examples:

Website:
freeconvert
or
convertio

You can even get an app for your phone to convert:

You need a black background for the base of the logo splash screen to show boot-up text info which is in white. The PNG copy of the JPG below has had the logo moved up and been reduced to ~8KB with a black background but the image is of course poor in appearance:

Actually, my picture is in png format, with a transparent background and as I said it was ~ 9KB heavy.
But, during upload, obviously the forum mechanism did something to it (converted to jpg ???). Quite surprising to me.
Next time I will put it in a zip archive.

But now I'm on vacation, very far away from my computer for the next two weeks

@hotport
That's surely not the correct BIN data from region 16. This is from my US/EU nuvi 2797:

My OS is also 64-bit, Win 11 Pro.

Information on the first page of the data source. There should be no errors. There is definitely no error in gir_editor. So I feel that it is a problem with the operating system. Do you need to install a special plug-in? After testing several computers, the results are the same.

I've previously used GIR_Editor in everything from XP to 10 and now 11 presently, no problem with it in any 64-bit OS.

The BIN file dump from a 2597's region 16 should be exactly 3 MiB (3,145,728 bytes) in size. Please supply a copy of your logo_2597.bin for comparison and advise its source (i.e., whether dumped from your own device, or from where it was downloaded).

The test again is still the same as the image file cannot be parsed.

Some devices have a different symbol file type that GIR_Editor cannot use, however neither nuvi 2597 nor zumo590 nor zumo 595 logos are affected. Perhaps you have a problem with GIR_Editor itself so to eliminate that possibility you should re-download it: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

But you posted initially a picture of GIR_Editor showing difficulty parsing a file named "logo_2597.bin" of which i requested a copy. So why are you now dealing with zumo logo bin files?

I am totally confused what you are doing and why. On the assumption that it's the same file in your first post, i've downloaded the file from Post#2 (logo_2597.zip) to get logo_2597.bin and it opens normally in GIR_Editor:

And here's the zumo 595 logo from that other thread you linked:
