I'm seeing a weird issue, or rather someone else is seeing a weird issue on their One XL with OV2/BMP files that work fine on my Go 510.
When he installs my OV2 files, he gets the categories listed with a period in front of their names (like ". Airport" instead of "Airport"), and a red square for the icon. And when he selects the categories, it says something like "No POIs found!"
On my Go 510, everything works tickety-boo. I'm currently working through testing the following hypotheses:
- One of the POI uses a character in the name that the One XL doesn't like
- One of the POI has a name that's too long
- The file name itself has a character the One XL doesn't like
- The BMP files aren't in a format the One XL likes (they're 24x24 pixel 24bit BMPs)
- He's using a Mac, and somehow the Mac is corrupting the files in some way. This seems unlikely.
Anyone else have an idea or suggestion?
If you want to try the files yourselves (they're POI for the Walt Disney World area), they're on this page:

Or here's the direct link to the zip file of OV2/BMPs:

Again, these exact files work fine on a Go 510.
