POIs loaded onto nuvi 360

Done this ok but is there anyway of getting the nuvi to display the right symbol for each POI rather then "flags" ?

Thanks

Andrew

Usually you will have a csv file and an icon file to load. Such as BP.csv and BP.csv. When they are loaded the two file must have the exact same name (i.e. BP.csv and BP.bmp - not BP.csv and BP_Petrol.bmp)

Make sure you have the file and the icon with matching names and try reloading them.

my POI files were downloaded from this site - so I'd hoped they would be OK and match up - I will check - thanks

I've checked and they do match up - but still getting flags rather than symbols :-(

Works for me i'm afriad. Try making sure you have the latest version of POILoader from CLICK HERE and then try using the delete existing POIs option first.
