Yet another POI question

Just looked at FAQ and don't see this. Say I want to create 3 categories of POI on my 750. Will simplfy the names for this question, the three files (categories) are:
rest_stops.csv
sports_stores.csv
motels.csv
My question is can I have a separate icon for each, so would my file list be
rest_stops.csv
rest_stops.bmp
sports_stores.csv
sports_stores.bmp
motels.csv
motels.bmp
I tried this and I see the right icon for the first file, but the other two seem to be missing all together. Or is the rule that I can only have one icon no matter how man files (categories) I have. So in my example above, where I list both the csv and bmp files, do the bmp files all have to be the same icon with just a different file name?
Looks right
The files look rightly named. But you also have size constraints. Most bmp are 22x22 or close to that.

That's it
Hadn't noticed that I grabbed the wrong size bmp files. When I put the right size bmp files in place I had a different icon for each group. Thanks for the help.

Are the questionable POIs listed under Extras (did they load at all)? If yes, what do you see when you pick one of the "missing-icon" locations and then choose "Show Map" and zoom in all the way. At the very least you should see the default icon, a grey dot.
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.
It worked
On the categories that didn't have my icon I saw the default icon. Dkeane hit the nail on the head. For those icons that didn't show I hadn't realized they were bigger than 22 x 22. I copied the wrong icons into the folder where I was putting all the files I wanted to load. I've sine fixed all the icons and have 6 or 7 categories of POI, all with different icons. Way cool.
yea should work.

Good call, Daniel. Actually, it has previously been reported that the max size is 24 x 24 and the number of total pixels must not be an odd number (or colors get screwed up), so at least one dimension must be an even number.
