Btw, i figured it out if you couldnt get the example i made to work. I simply edited a spare K750i picture and resent it back to the photos folder. It worked.
Try putting this in the camera pictures folder of your phone using the USB cable:

It seems far simpler to me to copy and paste a map from a website into a picture taken by the K750i. Then you can simply zoom in to what you need.
Also, pictures can be as big as 1632x1224, so you'd fit an entire city id bet on that unless you live in a capital.

Yes, it does work. Ive done a similar thing in the past.
When i went cycling in the countryside with friends a couple of years ago, i copy and pasted maps from a map website into paint shop pro.
Then, i simply pasted them all together to make a massive 1281x750 pixel image. It was about 1mb in file size.
Then i simply transferred it to my PDA and used it whilst we were out, zooming in on the bits needed.
It beats paying £££'s for expensive software IMO when you can simply stitch a map together in 10 minutes.
All you need to do is, take a picture with your K750i. Transfer it to your pc. Then fill the whole 1632x1224 image with your map and save it. Then simply transfer it back to your phones camera pictures folder, and voila ! you can have a 1632x1224 size map on your phone.
For some reason, the K750i will only recognise pictures in the camera pictures folder if they came from the phone. So simply making a 1632x1224 size image from scratch does not work.

Not ture, I copied a picture of Bedford town map from there web site, sent it to my phone and it worked fine. Zooming in and out finding where I wanted to go.

It does not work on mine.
I thought it did, but i think they must have changed the option in the current firmware because i could have sworn you could zoom in on normal pictures before i updated. What FW are you running ?

I'm using R1A044, just one more reason not to upgrade.
Why would SE take this option away? Seems odd. I can zoom in on any picture.

Well im on up to date firmware, and i no longer can.
Maybe they thought it was unecessary, since people only tend to want to zoom on photos rather than a simple wallpaper file ?
