bmp files

 

What, exactly, can I expect of a bmp file that in loaded into my Garmin (model 780) I expected that the bmp image would appear in the screen. If not then what does it do?

When it is loaded with a

When it is loaded with a poi, you will see that bmp image instead of the common black square dot. This is useful when you want to see a quick glance and know what it is.

Looks like this

The bmp icon shows up like this. In this mode, it's a route to my bank. When your driving pass a custom loaded POI with it's own bmp icon, it'll show up on the map as you drive. Just imagine the icon without the checkered flag sticking on it.

However, you need to zoom in to see the icons on the screen if you are not navigating to the location.

I know I've been out for awhile, but couldn't resist asking...What exactly does a square dot look like?

LoL, good to see some things haven't changed..

(from dictionary.com)
There are no dictionary entries for square dot, but square, dot are spelled correctly.

1. Square - a rectangle having all four sides of equal length.

1. Dot - a small, roundish mark made with or as if with a pen.
