Thread: iGO KML collections

All NextGen can
It is just a setting in the sys file, and/or an additional ux (skin).

Sorry, can't remember exact commands, and I'm out of town for the next few weeks so I don't have access to my files to look at.
Although I think using some skins makes it easy to adjust.

I wrote it before: I create POIs that are of interest to me in KML. And since IGO I create my own icons (bmp) and include them in the KML. That makes me independent and I don't have to intervene in any SYS or save files.
In the following example, I have two supermarkets in one category, which are then also displayed on the map and in the POI search with different icons, see example.

Unfortunately, since nextgen, 'multipoi.icon' can no longer be removed from the Data.zip without crashing, so that symbols that are close to each other on the map are displayed with just this single icon. Only at a high zoom level are several symbols displayed in almost the same place

Thanks, it's new to me - but I haven't dealt with it for a long time

EDIT:
I've had the same variables and values in [poi] in SYS.txt for a long time - but they don't work for KML with several categories, here I get the group icon displayed with a small zoom level
