Custom symbols for POIs
Completed
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"}

{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 <>
I like this idea 
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

but what can I do when I want to add a custom symbol to an existing or new added point?
Is "icons directory" a must or could I create my own directory
