Thread: iGO Primo & iGO Primo Nextgen kmlpoi icons

Create your own BMP icons—and you're all set.
"Greenfish Icon Editor Pro 4.5" is ideal for this.

Note: Small icons should be 64x64 pixels; for high-resolution devices, go up to 100–150 pixels.

Note: Truck POIs are actually more accurately represented in HERE and TomTom data than in many other offerings—some of which haven't been maintained for years and are often completely incorrect or unreliable.
...I speak from personal experience...

This is what I need, for both PRIMO and NEXTGEN.

Eventually, I was able to manage to find out that those "bmp" files are actually a propietary format, called NNG Bitmap.
I managed to make a program to convert 32 bit bmp files with alpha channel to that propietary format, and thus I was able to create transparent corners for my icons.

What is left is to manage to set different icons for different screens (map, mapdistant, normal and disabled), just as the rules in the branding.zip archive sets for the default points of interest.

As an example, this are the icons that I want to set for industrial areas:

Spoiler: industrial area icons

Any info regarding that matter is highly apreciated.

Thank you!

What one wants to do and what one is actually capable of doing are two very different things :-)
For decades, I’ve created KML files covering all of Europe, along with the corresponding icons (in .bmp format). With the right software, there are practically no limits.
But reading between the lines here - forgive me for saying so - it sounds a bit like the egg wants to be smarter than the hen 🤔😉
The decisions from this point on are yours to make 👍👋
