Thanx. I'll add this to the 1.4.3 doc on the next push.
<para>
Not all devices can support all color depths. GPSBabel (and its
developers) have no way of knowing what is supported on any given model
so some experimentation may be necessary on your part. It was reported
that a Nuvi 3790, for example, will read the POIs only if they use 8BPP.

Dear GPSBabel developers,
while preparing some scripts/icons to create .gpi files for
different amenity types from OpenStreetMap planet files I
noticed that the "bitmap=..." option of the GPSBabel garmin_gpi
output module is documented to work with either 8, 24 or 32bpp
images.
Maybe this works with some Garmin devices, but I found that
a (relatively new) Garmin nüvi 3790 will display icons
for the POIs on the map only if they were stored with 8 bits
per pixel.
So maybe it's a good idea to mention this in the docs - took
me quite some time to figure out this incompatibility...
