Are you abel to categorize ??.. shopping, transportation, fuel, etc... ?? Yes. The way this is done is to create separate POI files for each category. Put all your custom POI files in the same folder. when you run POI Loader it lists each file as you click thru it and they all get loaded. When you do a Find/Custom POIs you can then select by Database (your files). Quote Link to comment

I got one to work with my Benchmark POI file so I have at least gotten that part of the equation down. I have not seen the name pop up when I scroll over the icon on the screen though, is that a new bug in firmware or what have I missed when I create the GPX file with GSAK? What size in pixels is the best for not cluttering up the screen too much? Is there a separate setting on the GPSr for when they show up on the screen or are they linked with all the other user waypoints? Also is there a collection of icons for caching that is available for downloading already out there? I don't mind little smiley faces but I was hoping for something more descriptive.

+kgag Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Not seeing the name pop up is a bug in the firmware still.... You will want to set up the icons to be 16h x 16w pixels according to the ximage manual. kgag. Quote Link to comment
