Thanks sussamb, I figured that was the case , However, that does not solve the problem, please read on. I repeat:-

"Map Layers" then ticked "Up Ahead Places" (I can find no "Up Ahead" on my instrument) then "Save".

Then "Where to", "Custom POIs" "All Categories" then hit bottom tab and there they all are (except ASDA which I have resaved several times and also resized ((oh yes I have mastered that)) but no sign of it or its fuel station) except that when I hit "Go" they have ALL disappeared. Aaargh, what am I doing wrong.

BTW:- ASDA is there on the map, resized, when I do "Where to", "Custom POIs" "ASDA" but as soon as I hit the "Go" button it disappears.

Kind regards Harry

So presumably you have:

Asda.csv
Asda.bmp

I think we've got to the stage of some screenshots to help.

Oh yes Kremmen, they are just that. But then so are all the others that do show on the screen and remember they all show up when one hits the bottom tab on the All Categories screen except the two ASDAs. The ASDAs do show on the intermediate screen after:- Where to, Custom POIs, ASDA-UK-England. However ALL of them disappear as soon as the Go button is hit and then one of the four questions is answered. Not much use, is it.

Kind regards Harry

Harry,

Have you tried downloading the ASDA .csv and .bmp files from the free PocketGPSWorld POIs? Try downloading and installing them to see if they work any different to the ASDA files that you've got.

By the way, on TomTom you can zoom in/out of the map screen and see all of the icons for your various custom POIs. On the Garmin you won't see the POI icons on the map screen. You should however see the POIs on the navigation screen whilst you're driving around.

Regards,

Well that is really strange, Privateer (Robert). I downloaded the ASDA shop POI from the Pocket GPS World site and did the install with POI loader and lo and behold the ASDA petrol station symbol appeared, which I had not touched and which was not showing before, and the ASDA shop symbol still did not show. I have yet to take the instrument for a drive. I shall look with interest tomorrow, when I do just that, and will report back.

Kind regards, Harry

Whoopee. That worked including the ASDA one. Shame I did not know that before as I might have saved everybody's time. Never mind. I have just been struck by the thought that it did not talk to me. Probably a simple menu fix, I shall have a look. One other thing; right next to Morrisons (on the driving screen) is a green square with a white heart on it. Now the only building anywhere near that, apart from Morrisons of course, is the local magistrates court. What might that symbol be?

Kind regards, Harry

Then I thought that a heart might be a favourite, and so it proved.

Hi Harry,

Thanks for the update. Sounds like things are starting to work now.

As for the ASDA icon not showing, there might be a slight difference in the POI or BMP file that stopped it from working properly. At least it's working now.

Regards,

Hi Robert,

Well the ASDA bitmap works some of the time including the time when it is most important that it should so all is well; if still strange. Thanks for all your help.

Kind regards, Harry
