Custom Type Definition
Your custom type definitions will replace the default imagery on your GPSr or Mapsource.
All other objects will be rendered with their default imagery.
[_point] Definitions
Points (POIs) define your replacement bitmap for the associated POI type using the XPM
format. For example,
[_point]
Type=0x01
Dayxpm=”16 16 2 1”
“
c None”
“X
c #000000”
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"X X"
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
[end]
defines a daytime replacement image for POI type 0x01 (Large city). The rendered image
