I downloaded the GPX file for Canadian Tire locations (thanks for creating it) but the text "Canadian Tire" is too long in my NUVI 260W, so I chagned it to "CT" and now the city name shows up in the list so I have a better idea of the loaction before choosing. I noticed an ICON on your site, is there anyway to get the POI to show up on the map with this icon, other than SAVING the location as a FAVORITE (where I can choose an icon to associate with the FAVORITE)?
thanks JOe
Download the bmp icon from
Download the bmp icon from this site (right click on file name>save target as>select folder where you gpx file is.
Both file names have to be the same:
CT.gpx
CT.bmp
Connect GPSr to PC and run POI Loader. Custom POIs will show up when zoomed in on map and when navigating(also must be zoomed in).
There is much discussion about this on this stie. Try searching on Icons and BMP.
