   How do I make my icon show up larger on the Tracker?  It also seems to get smaller as I zoom in on the location.

   I think it might have to do with your picture that you posted in the rogues gallery, which I believe is used as your tracker icon.  Try posting a new pic, perhaps one of your shoulders and face (more of a close up).  I checked a few others tracking icons and don't see this problem with theirs.

   Sundance, your icon is really hard to see. As RowCat suggested you may want to change your Rogues Gallery photo to get better quality and contrast. Look at the other icons and pick out a few that show up well. Then look in the Rogues Gallery at their picture to see what works. Mine is a good example. It's a mug shot at close up range.

   Note that you have to log in before you go to the Rogues Gallery or you will not see the tools to upload a new photo.

   When uploading a photo, use the original file from your camera. Don't resize it or anything else. It should be in jpg format. After uploading, take a look and see if you like it. If not, try another photo.

   Thanks.  I'll see if I can't come up with a photo that makes me look good!

   My picture is showing up sideways in Rogues gallery. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

   Yes, you can rotate it and resubmit it to the Rogues Gallery. We process the photos for size, but we don't rotate.

   Other than rotating the photo for correct orientation, it is best to submit the photo as a jpg file direct from your camera. Don't resize or change the resolution.

   What am I doing wrong if my icon in the tracker app is a skull and crossbones? It is fine in rogues gallery, has worked in the past but not now.

    Bidgood, GadgetGirl and I have pictures in rogues gallery but tracker icon shows as a skull and crossbones.

    Any ideas? I have tried uploading different images but it does not change the tracker icon.

    This whole thread reminds me why my tracker logo is a really bright red background with ZTH on it.  The pictures are ridiculously hard to see.  Mistermoon has the right idea too.
