POI Custom icons help

Mon Nov 05, 2012 2:02 am

I have igo primo 2 installed on my basic android phone. I have the POI KML files installed.

I have Have installed the KML files in the folder
\iGO\content\userdata\poi

For the icons I used a 256 color BMP file with resolution 22x22 and placed them in the folder with the same name as the POI KML file except with the BMP extention

\iGO\content\userdata\usericon

The installed poi files work fine, except the custom icon is not being displayed. Instead it just shows the default blue balloon icon for the selected poi.

Any tips on how to get the custom icons to be displayed correctly with the newly installed poi file?

You have to put the name of the icon in the header of your KML file:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document><name>YourPOI</name>
<metadata><igoicon><filename>YourPOI.bmp</filename></igoicon></metadata>
