No Custom POI icons on 1490T

 

I loaded icons with the custom poi file that I put into my 1490T. They do not appear on the map unless I zoom all the way in to just about maximum - and then I can see the built in icons as well. I thought that the custom poi icons are visible at less magnification - based on a comment made on another post. The only reason I loaded the custom poi was to be able to see what is ahead on the route - as all of the pois duplicate what is already built in. I have the map set to standard. The icon files are loaded because they do appear at max zoom. Is it not possible to see even the custom poi's on this model without full screen zoom?
