Hi! I think that the distance between icon and corresponding text is a bit too large, see http://www.deltadelta.de/nmz/sc18.png Can I decrease it? Thanks a lot in advance, Dani

I think I have to explain more precisely, my english seems not to be good enough. When I use new, selfdrawn icons via Typ file, the name that belongs to the POI marked by the icon is farer away from the icon than it would have been from an original Garmin icon. I used the online typ file editor (http://ati.land.cz/) From the right upper corner, the label has a distance of 3 Pixels (diagonal) when a Garmin icon is shown, but 10 pixels, if my own icons are used. If a user defined waypoint is labelled, the label sits right above the icon, centered (that is the best way, I think). Does anybody know, if this behaviour is somehow coded inside the typ file? Or does mkgmap define the position and distance of the label? I think on small displays 10 pixels is way too much, so it would be really fine to be able to change that. Perhaps it is a not yet understood byte inside the typ file? TIA, Dani

Hi, Daniela, hopefully i don't missunderstood you like in your "grade3" problem, where i thought you want manipulate the appearance of a label for a "ready to use" img via type-file. Ok, back to the actual problem. First time i started with creating my own icons i saw also this effect you described. First i thought, that may be the text ist set to right upper corner of the maximum icon size which is allowed. Using a smaller icon i moved it as far possible to this corner. Unfortunately the text still was drawn to far away from the icon. I always had the impression that there is a fixed distance for the text no matter what size the custom icon has and where it is positioned in the 32x32 area. Sorry until yet i don't read about a solution for it. Gert
