points of interest (POI) & TOM TOM 3

[sundownerspars]

I have down loaded the airfields UK poi and these have transfered to my XDA II with no problems apart from their being no icon in the poi menu, only the file name. All the poi are in the database but I can get no vissual reference on the screen i.e no icon, any ideas? I did down load the file with the "down load immage" box checked.????????? I am using the the poi program from http://www.dnote.nl/ and the points of interest from the pocket gps web site http://www.pocketgps.co.uk

There should be a .bmp picture file with the same name as the POI, so if the POI file was called - airports.ov2, he Image file will be called airports.bmp

Thanks.
I copied a .bmp file and re-naimed it to give me Airfields_UK.bmp that then linked it with the Airfields_UK.OV2 file and hey presto I now have the icons. :D

It did happen to me some weeks ago.

My mistake was to copy the file to my SD card instead of going though the software menus to do that. I guess something needs to be done in addition to a simple copy and paste.

I followed the manual instruction by the book and it worked for me.

But my POI / Tom Tom is king of down for the moment so I can't reproduce it exactly.

I am looking for this POI, and went to pocket gps world site and couldnt see the airfields poi there. Any change you could post it on rapidshare or some other and send us a link... or even email to me if you feel so inclined. Many thanks. Matt
