That way you can visually tell what the POI is when you see it on your map. Having said all that, you don't 'need' them. If you create a custom icon (bmp) for the POI file and give it the same name as your POI file, that icon will (should) show up on your map screen on your GPSr instead of the dot. The default icon (at least on mine) is a grey dot. Is it to make the POIs look better? Please explain. Then run POI Loader and the icon will load with the file. You would place both files in the same folder on your computer. If this is the case on your computer, just make sure the part of the name that is showing is exactly the same (e.g., 'Starbucks' and 'Starbucks' ). NOTE: The default setting on many computers is to 'hide file extensions for known file types'. For example, if your POI file was 'Starbucks.csv', you would rename the icon for that POI as 'Starbucks.bmp'. Rename your icon EXACTLY the same name as your POI file except for the file extension (the three letters after the dot).

If you download an icon from this site, it will already be in the correct format and the correct size. I have found that 18x18 or smaller works best. The primary reason that I went with the Garmin unit over Lowrance is the quickdraw feature, but I have yet to be able to make the LakeVu or Quickdraw maps successfully populate Homeport. Save the file as a bitmap (BMP file extension) using a graphics program. Im new to my Garmin 93SV and struggling to learn how best to interact with the maps on my PC. Find or create an image that you want to make into your icon. How would I load Custom Icon files for POIs onto my GPSr?
