I have made a poi database and converted to ov2. Made a bmp and copied both bmp and ov2 into my GB maps on SD card. It works but instead of my bmp I get a red square! Please tell my what I am doing wrong. Thanks. Confused

The .bmp image needs to be 22x22 x 256 colours.

Tip: they can also be larger if it makes them easier to draw, but not by to much, just going up to 23x23 can help centering the image on them sometimes.

It also needs to be called by the same name with the correct file format:

eg mypoi.ov2 - mypoi.bmp
