HOW TO: Add Branded POI icons :UPDATED: 04-21-09

[DiRtEe99]

I have never updated them. They are the maps that came with the units that have the 2.0 update already installed. I think the maps were dated 2007, but it could have been early 2008.

You apparently need the 2008.4 maps and the 2008.10 POI... go back 1 page in this thread theres a link to the downloads.

 

The 2008.4 maps and POI were also posted to the usenet last night in alt.binaries.boneless if thats a faster transfer for you than megaupload.

Ok, so in 3D mode, almost all my POI's are quasi-transparent... but some, like gas stations, are completely solid. Any idea why this is? Kinda frustrating, and I dont see an option to fix it.

You have to get into the .spr files for the associated .bmp's and change the alpha level. For instance, "ui_pioneer/common/POI_mapclose.spr" and it should say this:

BmpFlags = 0
DefFlags = ALPHA_PIXEL | ALPHA_LAYER
DefPhase = 1
Stripes = 30
DefAlpha = 20

 

Whereas the "DefAlpha=xx" is the number you want to change.

Mine are at 32 now and yours are probably something less..probably 20.

Increase the number and you decrease the transparency of the little icon.

Good luck!

I am getting an error now that I did not have before. When I go into the "Manage POI" screen and I start to scroll through the .bmps I get to about the third screen where most of the fast food bitmaps reside and I am getting an error that says:

"Failed To Open file:

$poi_Fast_Food.spr

exiting application"

 

I updated the Maps to 2008.4 recently and also the 2008.10 POIs which are supposed to be compatable..

 

I am confused now

 

Thanx for the help,

Bud
