Hi,
I need to have more than 8 colored automobile icons. I need more like 64 shades.
Is this possible to do? How would I do this?
Thanks for the help.

You can add new icons by using the "Import Custom Symbol" button that appears when you select different pins on the drawing toolbar.
I would caution against the use of 64 different colours. MapPoint limits the number of colours, and even if you could have 64, users would have trouble telling them apart.
I would choose a combination of different automobile design and different colours.
Eg. 4 designs with 16 colours.

I think it may be an issue about DisplayDataMap having only 8 categories.
The way I used to always do it was having a routine to render Pushpins individually.. not exactly speedy but it was effective.
