nuvi 760
I just downloaded some custom POI's, which included both the Excel file and
.bmp icon. I noticed that some of the icons weren't a full 24 x 24, so I
downloaded some logos and downsized them to .bmp 24 x 24 file sizes (24 bit
depth). For some reason, they all show up on the nuvi display as dots. The
original logos all showed up just fine, and they appear to be the same file
and bit depth size - just slightly different dimensions. I just wanted to
see if I could create slightly better looking icons.
I made sure the file names for the .bmp and Excel files are the same, and
put them all in the same folder. What am I missing here?
Thanks!

Yes, I'm using POI Loader. Other details I left out included 2D Track Up
view, 300 feet, and More Detail.
I've since gone back to downloading the POI files as they were. Now, my
nuvi froze up twice today. As I recall, there were ~ 50,000 POIs listed
from 26 different custom POIs. Is it possible I loaded too many?
