In a future version of poi inspector will it be possible to have alerts for our custom pois?

Actually, this feature is not blocked by PI itself, looks like navi firmware isn't able to follow this (few dudes tried already). We must hope they'll add this to the next version of fw, but I'm quite pessimistic. Lets hope!

I've made some tests... The DB is created, succesfully imported in my RNS510, but I have an issue with the icons : I've imported some personal icons and use mostly (but not only) icons already in DB.

when I select a personal POI on my RNS, a different icon is used :-(

What is the correct format of the icons?
I tried to import some icons but I always get the same alert: "wrong image size (39x34)"

My icons are in 39x34 and 22x22

Rad'as said...

correct image size is 34x39

I tried import icons size 34x39 - wrong image size (39x34), other size 39x34 again wrong image size.
Format png, can you help us ? :)
