Me again. I wonder if you could help me. I managed to create a GPI file showing in the Where To menu, with custom icon. But for some or other reason, I’m unable to get the map icons to show up on the GPS. If I use the same icon.bmp file with POI Loader, the bmp is shown as the map icon on the GPS, so I believe my bmp is fine. (24x 24, 96DPI), but no matter what I try, I cannot get EPE to add the icons to the GPI file.
To create the GPI file, I have the following file structure / files:
C:\POI\Legal\ and in this folder, I have “Legal.bmp” and “Legal.gpx”. Legal.gpx contains waypoints assigned to 4 different categories. Legal.bmp is an icon of the well known legal scales I created myself. (And as I say, it works fine with POI Loader). If I understand the help file and the posting on the first page of this thread correct, the icon bmp should be in the same folder as the gpx file, with the exact same name – just as with POI Loader in other words.
C:\POI\WhereToIcons\ and in it Legal1.bmp and Legal2.bmp. Just to be save, I also put a copy of Legal.bmp in this folder.
Path to GPI file Icons points to C:\POI\WhereToIcons and Mapsource Custom Symbal Path to C:\POI\WhereToIcons.
For some or other reason I’ve not been able to figure out the past 2 hours, the map displays a small green dot as the waypoint icon instead of the legal scales icon.
Any idea what I’m missing?
