Step 2The icon resource file

the icon resource file
the resource file that the nuvi uses for the vehicle icon is converted from a particularly laid out png file (a format popularized for its support of alpha transparency). the png consists of a row of 36 80x80 pixel perspective stacked on a row of 36 70x70 pixel overhead views of the vehicle on a 2880x150 pixel sheet.

the accompanying sample image is a detail of an actual png created by custom modder mad mike for his own nuvi vehicle. both the image and finished icon files can be freely downloaded from techmods.net.
