Will it matter if the image is larger than 85x85? Does the unit just rescale it or will it cut off the ten pixels on two sides?

No, it won't matter. I made it a little bigger so that it would be easier to see. I can resize it to 85x85 if you want.

 

Any progress with the 3D .mdl files??

Nope, and I don't think we're going to be able to recreate those files. Our best hope is to replace the arrow with a 2D image like I posted above.

I still haven't dug too deeply into the 'mdl' file but I went ahead and made a 3d bmp icon for myself - it's basically the same as my daycar.bmp but I squished it a little bit on the vertical plane so it has an illusion of being from slightly behind. I still don't use 3d mode much but I figured I'd do this anyways... was a bit bored. :)

 

I did these pics with the map in 'day mode' but night mode looks much better - it's just harder to get a good picture of.

 

I'm still somewhat annoyed that I can't find any way to display the heading in degrees - that's the only thing missing now from my map screen.
