Yes, just copy the file in zipped form to your unit.

Got it!

Thanx!!!

My unit is showing those red diamond in a red square icon for random pois i have turned on, some show those, some show the ones it should....pretty annoying! I cant decide if the faster boot time and better responsiveness is worth this first of many bugs we are sure to find!

Those red diamond icons are icons for general business. I had a different branding.zip file in mine and narrowed it down to that. I took and added the toyota logo, nissan logo and some others I had and the red diamond changed to those logos. The bulk of them I found under business and general category. There are 29 pages of them.

The red diamonds simply indicate POI icons that are too close together so it uses a "crowded icon" symbol to indicate that the icons are too close together. They represent any icons too close together and has nothing to do with certain POI types.

Yes you are correct. But they do certainly play into specific POI icon types as well.

hello, I want to know if I can change the icon of speedcam ? is it possible to add several speedcam icon (mobile Speedcams, fix Speedcams) and how the settings in the F900BT.

thank you

Not with this file. Speed cams are handled in another area of the system.

But is it possible to replace the speed camera icon with a new more fun? What can we add more speed cam icons appear according to their type?

It's possible, just change one of the speedcam BMP's. However it only shows a one generic icon for cameras on map. Speedcam warning box can show different icons for different cameras, though.

thank you for your reply. How Speedcams icon appear different depending on their type (fixed and mobile Speedcams Speedcams) ?

problem, the file is speedcam.icon not .bmp, I can not open it either with paint or photshopCS4!

That's becasue the .icon file is just a text file that specifies the actual bitmap for speedcams... The bitmap you are looking for is most probably either speedcam_bigicon.bmp or speedwarn.bmp -- those look like what shows on the map. If you change them don't forget to modifgy the .SPR file appropriately.

i know this is a dumb question but how do i get the POI's to show up? Is it a mod or just a setting in the unit. thanks

ok, I found the speed cams files bmp and pr.

against by most .bmp are "coded" and I can not open them.

Excuse my ignorance, I started in the changes in the F900BT.

Google for MioMap Tool or iPaq Image Explorer...

thank you is good For against, how Speedcams add icons of different type and ensure that the file speecamupdates.spud supports? I read this topic but I lost!

my F900BT is the Euro version.

Didn't work (***I Think***). I took the "Branding.Zip" from the download site and saved it (.RAR format) to my SD card. Booted it up in test mode and then I copied the Branding.ZIP file and then pasted into APL2/IGO. IS this correct?? I can select icons when I go to the POI select screen no prob but in 3D mode they still show up as generic icons.

Is this how it is supposed to be?? Don't these reside in the DATA.ZIP (XXX/ui_pioneer/.....) file structure? Or is this supposed to make a new "ui_pioneer" folder in the flash drive /APL/IGO? directory

And once the "Branding.ZIP" folder still resides in the folder of "My FLash Disk" Can this be removed from the flash drive once it is in there and working???

Thanx,

Bud

If you read the instructions I provide in the introductory post it will work.

I did....30 times.

Thanx anyway.

I'll figure it out.

I took the "Branding.Zip" from the download site and saved it (.RAR format) to my SD card.

Dont remember saying anything about .rar in my instructions. Download the file and copy it to the directory on the unit I specify in the instructions. Its that easy.

Just viewed the download stats at rapidshare on this file and to my surprise it has received 893 downloads. Glad to know that people have found this file useful.

It looks like the key is editing the poi.icons file to get the restaurant branded icons to display. See the Pizza Hut entry below.

[Restaurant.Italian]

$poi_mapdistant.bmp

$poi_mapclose.spr 31

poi_mapclose.spr 31

 

[Restaurant.Italian.Pizza_Hut]

$poi_mapdistant.bmp

$poi_brand.spr 129

poi_brand.spr 129

 

[Restaurant.Indian]

$poi_mapdistant.bmp

$poi_mapclose.spr 31

poi_mapclose.spr 31

Icon no. 31 in poi_mapclose is the infamous bread icon (counting from 0). poi_brand.spr is a descriptor file for the poi_brand.bmp file. I tried to add the following.

[Restaurant.Other_Restaurant_Area.McDonald_s]

$poi_mapdistant.bmp

$poi_restaurant_rect.spr 0

poi_restaurant_rect.spr 0

But it didn't work. I may have the category wrong. Maybe someone can confirm?

Please feel free to explore possibilities to make this file better. I would love to be able to display proper restaurant icons.

halomez what file are you editing there and where is it located? I've been all through the data.zip and most of the bmp's but don't see anything related to poi's.

He is looking in the Branding file that can be downloaded one the first page.

Once you have downloaded the Branding file you unzip it and go to ui_pioneer>icons>poi>poi.icons

I have been able to get the Burger King and McDonald's icons to show up on my unit already branded with 2008.04 maps. With the 2008.04 maps I can go to MANAGE POI search under RESTAURANTS then go to FAST FOOD under that category there are several places to show a poi for such as Burger King, Chick-Fi-La, McDonald's, etc.

I got the Burger King and McDonald's poi icons to show up by placing this text

[Restaurant.Fast_Food.Burger_King]

$poi_mapdistant.bmp

$poi_brand.spr 19

poi_brand.spr 19

[Restaurant.Fast_Food.McDonald_s]

$poi_mapdistant.bmp

$poi_brand.spr 99

poi_brand.spr 99

into the Branding>ui_pioneer>icons>poi>poi.icons file.
