Title: Help need with bmp pic of a patrol
Post by: briann532 on October 22, 2011, 09:08:14 AM: Help............ Please..............

I need a small bmp file of a nissan patrol.
It's for a very good cause.

I'm helping to sort out and set up an Igo folder on a friends gps.
Because he's an avid toyota fan, I need to find a patrol picture to set up as his icon.

I know its cruel, but he won't know how to change it it and it will drive him mad!!! >:D >:D >:D

If you can help in any way please do.

Cheers
Brian :angel:

how small?

It just has to be recognisable as a patrol when reduced to around 400 x 400 pixel.

I'll try as suggested reduce a saved file, this may work.

As Mystq said you should be able to display this file in Paint and save it as a bmp after resizing it

Thanks everyone,

I've used GG patrols avator (with both permission and many thanks) as the start button, and a photo the rear of my patrol saved as a small bitmap file as his display icon..........

;D ;D ;D

Why is this just so funny............................ >:D

My mate will cringe when he sees it..... :cheers:
Thanks for all your input.
