hi marianne, your bmp image must be huge, but I had experience before compressing maps using Constructor, and I can't pack it all in 64K. I have as much as 220 KB compressed into around 50K. Using PiLRC is actually easy, and I'm sure you won't have much trouble using it. When compressing take note to use the FORCECOMPRESS method.
You can find it here: http://www.ardiri.com There are other means to make this work too. You can convert your BMP file to JPEG, and use the JpegLib for Palm to display them on the device. The library is also easy to use. Hope this helps, miches:) ---- Palm Developer Forum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi miches, > > I tried Packed-bits as well as Best-Fit.. It still gave that error..
