So, how do I get my Magellan 3140 to accept the icon for my POI Category, again?

Yes, I was able to download my POIs to my Magellen. Yes, I followed the directions to name the bmp file the same as the mgln file, "Starbucks." But, it still will not work. The directory on my SD card is CPOI. It will not let me make a sub-directory named "Starbucks." But, right now, those are the only 2 files there: i.e., the Starbucks.csv and the Starbucks.bmp. Anyone got any ideas? What am I missing in my procedure? I've read all the FAQS. Also, the POI editor does not see the bmp file either.
I still need help, 5/5/2008, 5:45 PM EST.
Sorry, you can't

That's because that part of the directions only works on Garmins ?? At least, it does NOT work that way on the Magellan Maestro series. Sorry, you (we) are stuck with the icons that are offered to you by the POI editor.

Thanks for that info. My next mission is to try and combine several (up to 10) personal categories (like Starbucks) into ONE mgln file that I can load onto my Magellan. I'll let you know if that works on my 3140.
Get me there, please.
Thanks! POI Factory
I've learned so much at this site. All of the comments, FAQs, files and links are just awesome. I'm telling my kids and grandkids about it.

Miss POI
My POIs for Magellan - Wll I be able to combine?
Thanks for the reply. Will I be able to combine several POI mgln files (Categories) for my Magellan Maestro into ONE file?

Combined POIs
Will I be able to combine several POI mgln files (Categories) for my Magellan Maestro into ONE file?
Yes. I have done it. I believe the details are posted here. Use the search box a bit; I think you'll find it.
I haven't played with the POIs for a few months but I'm not sure that combining the files is a good idea. I think I discovered that activating one category activates them all.....if they are in the same file.
Alas, I don't remember for sure.
