Just installed the updated v870 map on my GO950Live - took forever to DL and install W & CE Map (1hr 40min for download and further 21 mins for install).
Device is VERY slow since the update and this am have noticed that the POI icon for a set of POIs that I wrote and installed myself no longer is visible against the individual POIs - the default red box is shown instead. I have checked the bmp files using Explorer and they are still there. The POI set is installed on my GO1000Live and works perfectly - so what has happened Question

Suggestions as to how I should get the POI icons back would be appreciated. Reinstall the whole set ?

A quick, stab-in-the-dark, answer would be to try a Reset. Smile

Sensible suggestion, Richard - did try that....and it keeps resetting itself too many times for my liking Crying or Very sad Perhaps a factory reset might help, but I am reluctant as it puts me to too much work.

What's the size of the .bmp, Gee-Pee? 22x22? 24x24?

Maybe the app on that model is more finicky about the appropriate .bmp size.

Hi David. It's 22 X 22. Has been working perfectly for about a year since installation. I think I will just try to re-install and see what has happened, although that should not work, as the bmp file seems to be OK within the device when I look via Explorer.

Problem sorted. I don't know how this happened but I found that the POI icon for the POI set had migrated itself into the N American map folder whilst the ov2 file was in the Europe folder. Cannot imagine how that happened, but it must have been me......... Embarassed Don't tell anyone
Found this after doing a factory reset.
But, at least I can sleep tonight.
