Why is it that when I produce my own BMP files, the AVIC refuses them to load and displays an error, stating it cannot load the bitmap?
Are they 32 bit?
24?
what?

That... I don't know 
I made some with Paint.Net.
No mather of I save them as 8 or 24 bit, they don't load.
Can I use PNG instead?
(or any other format _but_ BMP?)

Try getting a free program called IRFANVIEW.
It is the best picture viewer for the PC and has a lot of conversion utilities built in.
You could try converting your pictures with it to see if they load.

You need MioMap tool, iPaq Image Explorer, IgoConvert or one of the other programs that can compress/decompress iGO's custom bitmap format...
