POI visibility

Custom POI's are visible on the map, but when you zoom out only a little blue dot is visible. There is an option to change this. First set your POI visibility to the maximum (10 km). To make the POI's more visible we have to modify the scheme file, this file can be found in the  \My FlashDisk\miomap\miomap\scheme directory. Copy the scheme file you are using to your PC and unzip the color.ini from this file. Look in the color.ini file for following lines:
poi="gfx/day/poi6x6.spr"
poi2="gfx/day/poi26x26.spr"
Now we make the value of poi equal to the value of poi2
poi="gfx/day/poi26x26.spr"
poi2="gfx/day/poi26x26.spr"
Now save the color.ini file and zip it back to the scheme file. Place the modified scheme file back to your device and start Miomap or IGo.

Make sure that you don't have to many visible poi groups,

Hi,
How can I set the POI visibility to the maximum (10 km)?

Same here - how to set visibility to 10 km? Didn't find that option here on iGO 2006 SE.

Works only with "own Pois"

It works great, however it works in MAP only. How do I make it work in NAVIGATE mode as well?

This only works for custom POI. For default poi see article http://www.navguide.net/igomiofan/poi-editing/poi-visibility-ii/

Hello, I've imported a lot of POIs into the IGO file with POI Explorer, and now all POIs are visible in "MY POIs". Unfortunaly the POIs are visible as a bleu dot. I have all .bmp files for the POIs, but how can I attach them to the POIs? Where do I place the .bmp files, or do I need to attach them to the POIs in POI explorer?

Question two: Because there are thousands of POIs in MY POI file (IGO file). The PDA is becomming very slow. All POIs are loaded into the memory I guess? Can you tell me if I can replace the POIs to my story card (they are now in my documents/Miomap/..) ? And how can I make it faster?

Sorry, forgot anaother question, how can I set the visibility for MY POIs to 10km? I have a MIO P550 with Mio maps V3.2.

Thanks!
