POI icons missing
 13 years
|
I have a TomTom One 130. I have downloaded several POI files in the .ov2 format and loaded them onto my TomTom in the appropriate map folder. When I have the POI category selected in the show POI screen, I do not see the POI icons on the map screen. If I search for the POI, it is found and the icon appears, but when I search for something else, the icon for the previously found POI is gone again. I have discovered that I can load and save each POI file with EPE and then load the new .ov2 file, and everything works OK. It is a pain to do this for every POI file.
Does anyone know of a way to automate EPE? It says that supports command line arguments, but I cannot find any documentation of this.
Does anyone know what is different from EPE saved .ov2 files and the ones downloaded from here?
POI Icons do not show on map aerial view
Hi!
I have downloaded .OV2 files with the properly renamed Icon and the Icon only shows in the POI category. It does NOT show on the aerial view of the map.
DO I have to put the ICON pic on the .OV2 file itself?
How do I get the Icons to show in the maps?
Thanks.

POI Icons missing- I found the answer on another post see below
Hi!
I don't know why it works, but it does.
I downloaded the .OV2 files from POI-Factory on my computer, the went to the POI editor website and passed that same files "through the wringer"- Used the POI editor converter and converted from .OV2 to .KML and then the new file back from KML to .OV2. Then all you have to do is rename the new .OV2 file properly, add a .bmp image with the exact same name- put the new "wringed" .ov2 file and its matching .bmp icon pic on the proper map and voila'. Now the TomTom navigator 5 can show the icons on the maps when you are zooming in and out of a given area.
I still have to try it with my navigator 6, but it shouldn't be any different.
Many Thanks!!!
