I copied this file over and went to do a search for POI's and it wouldnt generate anything, 0 results....

Im really tired of driving around and seeing nothing but bread and default gas stations.... someone help!

Most of these you have to set the icons for the POI.

I noticed that more came up, but how do you add individual businesses to specific POI's? Like restaurants.... how would you get down to the specific restaurant to add the one POI to?

Are you trying to simply add icons to the POI that are already in the unit or are you trying to add new POI? Like a new business that just opened last week.

Franchises... Starbucks and Safeway are right by my house... all I see are bread symbols. Not "new" businesses per say. I live in Seattle... there should be a Starbucks showing up on every other block

As I said, you have to select the icon you want for the POI in the MANAGE POI screen.

My question is, how you get down to the specific restaurant chain in the manage POI section? I just see a vague POI....

Restraurants > American, then I can only edit the "american" one... I guess what Im asking is what category do they fall in.

Touch the category (American) and it will display the names of the restaurants it has. There you will edit the visibility on the map and select the icon you want.

Will this affect anything else besides the POI icons?

Like what? It shouldn't.

Worked great. For some reason I was thinking of the pioneer.ini file I just didn't want to overwrite something I had already added. So is there a way to add more to the list of poi icons? or just the whole file as it gets upgraded by the "maker"? Like could I make my own small icons and add them as I go? I thought I saw an option like that.

It is possible but it is quite involved.

Model: X910BT

Software Version: 3.0

SD card: Kingston SDHC card 4gb

Here's what I did:

1. Download the Branding.zip file in the root of my SD card.

2. A 2.3 Testmode folder in the root of my SD card.

3. Put the card in and boot into CEmode.

4. Copy the Branding.zip file into myflash/apl2/iGo

5. WinCE prompt a message ask me if I want to replace/override

6. Yes, and it spent less than 1 minute to copy.

7. Close the window and turn off the unit by turn off the car ignition(ACC)

8. Restart the unit without any SD card insert

9. Go to Map Visual Setting POI

10. In fast food section I found McDonald with logo as well as Burger King.

11. Adjust it to Medium

Am I doing this correct VBLUE42? I assume this is the update version since I can see McDonald POI now.

Quote from McDonald "Change is good" and "I'm lovin it"

Thanks VBLUE42. This is my first mode on my X910.

Yep, sounds good. Glad you like it.

Hi. This might be an issue that came as a result from loading the branding.zip onto my F700bt. Even if it is not, mayby someone out there will know what this is:

I'm getting a "ding-dong" sound for no apparent reason while driving....

If anyone can tell me why the unit is playing this sound, and a possible way to keep it from happing, I would be very greatful.

Thanks

Are you using any other mods? Regardless that sound has nothing to do with the branding file.

I'm currently using CHROME V3

Its likely something in that mod that is causing the issue. Check the warnings feature.

I remember reading somewhere that the sound whilst driving was infact lane guidance, and if you simply turn it off then the noise goes away....

now i also have a question, i read that someone else here was running the australia maps and V3 firmware....exactly the same as mine (and it was also said that this used ig08.3)

ive added the brandings file to my unit and some icons show up such as dominos pizza...but not mcdonalds and stuff so if i go into the manage poi screen, will i be able to assign the appropriate icon just like that? (i ask and not try because i dont have my car in action at the moment!)

so if i go into the manage poi screen, will i be able to assign the appropriate icon just like that?

Yes.

Cheers....i literally just realised as well that this is the only real way i've read about to add icons without keeping the flipping SD card in!

Again i read through this about people wanting to add more icons to the branding.zip...was that ever successful?

Again i read through this about people wanting to add more icons to the branding.zip...was that ever successful?

Yes. Read the first post.

I read it...want I meant was is it simple for me to add images to the branding.zip file and then put it on my AVIC? Maybe it's there and I've misread it?

It is not simple at all but it is possible.

If you ever get a chance, do you think you could help me do that? Just that being in australia theres a heap of brand places that arent included. If not, I understand and appreciate the effort you contributed to this already!
