Petrol station icons

Thu Apr 07, 2016 7:19 pm

Hi all

Hopefully someone can help.

The branding and data zip files I have contain POI icons for a few petrol stations in New Zealand, mainly Caltex.

Approx one year ago, I had the files that contained icons for others (Z, Mobil, BP, Gull, Challenge to name a few) but I don't have that file anywhere any more.

Can someone help with a correct file(s) so these icons show up in navigation? I have loyalty cards with BP and Shell so it would be good to know if those brands are available when driving through a town.

It's possible I might be barking up the wrong tree, so a gentle nudge in the right direction would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi kiwinsn,
I think the icons you are looking for are in the poi file rather than in branding.zip or data.zip, and that you are looking at HERE pois on your device.

I have both HERE and WhereiS (now TomTom) poi files on my device.
If I restrict searches to HERE pois, only Caltex petrol stations have a proper icon, the rest all show as the generic blue petrol pump icon.
If I switch to WhereiS, I see icons for most (but not all) BP, Z, Mobil, Caltex and Gull stations.

Of course I may be completely wrong - it wouldn't be the first time :lol:

Cheers
Richard

Or you could just post it here so others may take advantage of it. Thanks.

I'm happy to post it here if you will explain how. I can't find an "attach file" button and pasting doesn't work

It doesn't work that way. Go to an upload host site and upload your file. Then go to the file you just uploaded on that site and do a copy of the url address. Then paste the url here.

Here it is (thanks chas521), perhaps I should have mentioned earlier its from 2015.Q1 - TomTom took the WhereiS business over after that. They reissued just the maps as TomTom in Q2 and I haven't seen any updates from them since.
