Is it possible to load both the icon and the sound in the POI file using the POI loader?

A few combinations to choose from...

If you want the same Icon and the same Sound for every POI within a file, then name the .BMP and the .MP3 the same as the source .gpx/.csv file :-

My_alerts.gpx (or My_alerts.csv)
My_alerts.bmp
My_alerts.mp3

If you want different Sounds and Icons for different POI's, then (using gpx format only), specify link(s) to directories containing the files:-

My_alerts.gpx:
  'POI 1'
    <link> = C:\Dir1\ (contains req'd files)
                      Icon1.BMP
                      Sound.mp3

  'POI 2'
    <link> = C:\Dir2\ (contains req'd files)
                      Another_Icon.BMP
                      More_Sounds.mp3

etc etc
