Can anybode answer this for me please?

I am about to buy a PDA and TomTom.

I have a couple of questions.

When I download the POI's from PocketGPSWorld, they're in an archive and usually contain an ov2 and a bmp file. Both are the SAME name.

Ie:
Pizzahut.ov2 and Pizzahut.bmp
Fuel.ov2 and Fuel.bmp

Does the ov2 file refer to the icon by name?
So if I were to rename the FUEL.BMP file to PIZZAHUT.BMP, would all fuel stations show as PIZZAHUT logos?

I'm wanting to create some POI's of my own and I need to design icons for them to be overlayed onto the map.

Thanks all.


:D

It's the other way round. In the above example, all Pizzahut would show the Fuel logo. I think you meant the other way, it just didn't come out right. Smile

The POI, whatever it is, has to have an indentical named .bmp file. That .bmp can be of anything you want, subject to size limitations.
