Perhaps the question looks a bit stupid, but I am now really looking for a way to find the answer for this. I want to know to modify icons in TomTom GO 2535 M Live. I am not able to find the right icons for this. I found some pictures on a forum where a user has used his on customized icon. Can anyone tell me how this works.

I found a a solution on this by looking out on various threads on internet. It is possible to have your own icons on the device. But I am not sure that it works or not. For that you will need to test the same a couple of time. There is also a requirement for this. the POIs are composed of a file ov2 and bmp. The default size should be 22px. By changing the size of the bmp file, remember that it will not work. But by adding a second bmp file at the end with a size of 44px it seems that it works properly. If you have lots of POI, you can take Xnview to convert the image size, and to add the end of all files bmp. This method looks a bit complicated but this is the only solution I found. I tried searching for some kind fo tool that can show me how to modify the icons of tom tom. There are no such tools. I also does not way to restore the old icons in tomtom. So if you are doing anything of your own then take care before making anykind of major changes.
