[mkgmap-dev] garmin zumo XT

Mon Aug 10 07:10:56 BST 2020

Hi Brad

I don't know anything about Zumos but if it uses themes  I suspect pois 
are kept in a gpi file, Garmin/Poi

I have a Garmin Drive of some sorts and have added all my points in 
various gpi files.

Bitmaps have to be .bmp but canbe any width or height (this applies to 
recent devices)

More info and screen shot : https://www.pinns.co.uk/osm/gpi.html

Perhaps check out various Zumo forums , ie
