Hi again!

How do I get my custom POI's to make a sound?

e.g. when I pass by an ATM machine

I have updated my POI list with the sound file number
( 34.101557,-118.336660,Pig N' Whistle The,100, ) --> 100 is my message100.mp3 for an ATM. I have copied the sound file to the sound folder. What do i need to enter in the sound.txt? 100,ATM???

I have test the sound file by exchanging the sound number in a POI route from "turn right sound" to ATM sound and that worked fine!?!

If I hold my marker over the ATM POI icon, MapThis shows the the ATM name and the sound number, but no sound.

Can somebody help me please?

Thanks again

BigBoy

You don't need a sound.txt.

It seems like a sound is only played if both description fields are filled in (a space is enough), so e.g. "lat,lon,test1,test2,1".

Thx Nieko!

One more question!

What is the max. size for custom icons? The one's from POI Factory do not show correctly on my maps

I thought there was no max size on the maps, but if there is, it might be the same as the Map This! icons that are already there. I think that's 32x32 or so.

The icons in the POI lookup screen can be 16x16 max.
