Thread: Extraction and Experimenting with Garmin voice Audio Packs and fw symbols, icons

Turbo's original GIR_Editor [v1.0] only reviewed and extracted from certain resource files according to his change log. I think when he added ability for logo.bin extraction of BMP images in V2.0 that may have been when any bin file containing symbols/images was recognised. Any other .bin file which doesn't contain graphics will be rejected with the message 'Only gir file and logo files are supported' as you know.

There's certainly not any [old-style] .gir files in nuvi-type units' internal files, again as you'd already know. There's none in GMXT or nRoute either. Sorry i don't know of any apart from those in GMPC's program files and have no idea if any others actually exist. Hence my offer to rekit your undies and sock drawers [easier task for me]. Maybe there's something different in old region-only units like StreetPilots?

I'm using GIR_Editor0.56 and it failed to recognized graphics in fw_all.bin of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Using hex editor goto 5934132 and it's a start of a small PNG (BMP_SYM_WPT_DOT icon)

Now the fw_all.bin file is a file without "gir" header (unlike logo.bin and fw_resource.bin), so technically it's not a "gir" file; but it does contained graphics.
