Question.
How can I import my own POI ( kml ) into iGO Primo ?

I did a search but could not find it .

kml pois go to the folder content/userdata/poi and the icons to content/userdata/usericon

Thanx so much.
Folder userdata/poi is not there, suppose I must create it ?
Any idea of the size, extension etc of the icon ?

Yes, you have create the folders.
I use icons in .bmp with 146x146 dpi, 44x44 pixel.
Important is the path in the .kml file

No problem, I have your .kml a little bit modified and now it will work with Primo and NextGen

Wow noknoi, that was fast !

Gonna try this next week.
I let you know.

Edit:

Hi noknoi,

Works perfect !

Can you please share how you did it ?

Open the file with an editor (I use notepad ++) and compare your file with mine (only beginning and end)
Additionally look at # 4 and # 6

Hi

Can you help me with my POI?
I download POI from poiplaza.com
In my Primo and Nextgen i can't see icon.
I can see poi, but only with globe icon.
I made folder content/userdata/poi for .kml file and the icons to content/userdata/usericon for .bmp file.

Maybe .kml file is corrupted?

Thx in advance
