It's He** getting old. I have a NUVI 265wt and the Extra Icons are almost to small to see the design. I just had my eyes check and there 20/20. So it might not be me. Is there any way to enlarge the Icons?

I think it's called the Golden Years Actually it's really Fool's Gold. Like you I have the same problem on my 855. Even on max zoom I find it hard to distinguish some icons, As for seeing them at any reasonable zoom for driving, forget it.
nuvi 855. Life is not fair. I don't care who told you it is.

Are the font and images really larger on the large screen or does it just show more territory?

large icon - make your own icon
No you can not really enlarge the icon. There is a limit beyond that we can not enlarge the icon. I think the limit is some where around 2 MB or may be little less.
I use to make my own icon. For that you need to search a particular icon on internet. Lets say you are searching KFC icon. search for the KFC image on internet. Save the image you like to use as an icon for KFC.
Then edit that image in paint. what you have to do is open image in paint. go to tools >> Attribution and decrease the ratio from 100 % to 50 %. This will reduce the image size by 50%. Now you can save it as .gif file. Not the .JPEG file.
go to the image property and see the size. Size should be around 2 MB so that you can see it a little larger than ordinary icon size. If image size is still more than 2 MB you have to follow all the steps again and decrease file size further. If file size is more than 2 MB your device will not show it because large image will cover up roads or neighbor poi too.
Then upload that image along with KFC poi file via POI loader.
Let me know if this help!
Isn't size 2kb
My understanding is that the size should be no bigger than 24 by 24 pixels which is about 2KB. Can they be bigger?

Sorry my fault. Its 2KB. not 2 MB.
No

No. We now know that a bmp icon file bigger than the 24x24 limit can cause some units to hang when the icon tries to appear.

Sorry Dude
20/20 just means you can see, at 20 feet, what the average person can see at 20 feet.
It does not mean you can see it at 20 inches. LOL

Thanks for all your good comments. I guess I should back up to 20 feet and I'll see the icons OK? Ozme52, you did not have to bring up the eye chart. I am haveing enough trouble getting old as it is!! I guess I will have to bye one of those magnify eye glasses.
