I know some GPS will only support some type of bitmap. My 3750 only supports 256 colors or the bitmap will not show. I need also to check what POI Loader does, but I think it does no conversions.

Right now, if you Export by Category or Symbols (or even filename), you can have one map symbol per category. Just make sure the bitmap is 256 colors (see point above) and that it has the same name as the category (or symbols or filename) and put it in the same folder as the source POI.
Hi Turbo - it's been some time. Did you ever got around looking into this? I never managed to figure out why some bmp's work and others don't. (I checked the Wicki - I don't see any info there?)
Could you perhaps tell us what the requirements (size, colour etc) are for (a) the icon which appears in the "Where To" menu and (b) the map symbols.
Is it possible yet to get the outer edges of the icon one creates, transparent?
I have read through the thread and checked all the posts in this regard, but I’m still not sure what the icons/symbols’ settings should be. I get some to work but others, with what seems the exact same specs, don’t work and I have been unable to figure out what the reason for that is.
Thanks
