Installation
Move the Files to the map directory (de_at_ch).
Customizes POIs
Always two files belong together:
name.ov2 and name.bmp
This defines a new category with name "name". name.bmp is the bitmap of all points defined in name.ov2. If the .bmp file is missing, the POI category does not show up in the list of POI categorys, and if the name.ov2 is not linked to a build in category, also the pois will not sow on the map.
Link the POIs with builtin categories
You need to make a file, consisting of:3 empty lines (just press return 3 times) followed by an asterix and then the four digit number from the list of the category you want to add to (The file size will be 9 Bytes). Save the file as myPOIfile.inf where "myPOIfile" is the name of YOUR POI file, and put it in the same place as the POI file itself (i.e. your map folder).
You can have MULTIPLE files all merging into the main built-in POI category.
If also a .bmp file is there, the POIs of "myPOIfile" will use it. If not, the bitmap of the builtin category is used. There is a rumor, that if you do not use .bmp files the "myPOIfile" does not count for the category limit.
