custom symbols for POIs

I would like to import one GPX-file with POIs of different type (and different icon).
How can I specify that the POI should be displayed with a certain custom icon?

I can do this with a "fake" geocaching GPX file, where I can select from the cache symbols. But a more straightforward solution would be preferable.

{wpt lat="60.324150" lon="24.673150"}
{time}2012-05-17T11:19:41Z{/time}
{name}{![CDATA[Parkki ]]}{/name}
{desc}{![CDATA[]]}{/desc}
{extensions}
{locus:sym}{parking.ico}{/locus:sym}
{/extensions}
{/wpt}

Custom category symbol is NOT the right answer.

Edit: changed <> to {}, the forum ate <>

Hello Stebu,
there is currently no way to import GPX files together with specified icons. This works well for KML files but not GPX, so I'm changing this question to "Idea" because it's more request on non existing feature

Quite old topic, that is anyway implemented for quite a long time

you may already use custom icons for POIs. For this, just pack all items into zip file and place them into Locus/icons directory

if you'LL then want to use any of these icons in imported GPX files, just add to every point this


<wpt lat="50" lon="15">
<name><![CDATA[Point]]></name>
<extensions>
<locus:icon>file:myFile.zip:myIcon.png</locus:icon>
</extensions>
</wpt>


this should work. You may also try to add icon directly in Locus and then export this, so you'll see exactly how it works
