TomTom car symbol guide - TT customisation

Would you like to use custom made TomTom car symbols?

System: TomTom Navcore
Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 5 minutes

On your PC
1. Open mspaint.exe ( Start > Run > mspaint.exe )
2. Open BMP image that you want to use as a car symbol ( File > Open )
3. Edit image to make some nice symbol
4. Fill in the image background with red (RGB 255,000,000)
5. Resize to size between 24 x 24 pixels and 128 x 128 pixels (e.g. 80 x 80 )
6. Save image as 256 color bitmap (BMP) to your PC
7. Copy your customised car symbol to your TomTom in the subfolder /art/cars


On your TomTom:
1. Disconnect TomTom
2. Goto the main menu > Change preferences > Change car symbol
3. Select your customised car symbol

Enjoy

Does the Car Symbols work with TomTom One XL?

I have just bought a TomTom One XL and was wondering if you can put these Car Symbols on it?

Thanks for any information,
Jock.

How to put a car symbol on the TomTom One XL

Others have written that you can add a car symbol to their TomTom One XL, but they say they use a software that ends in .exe. I have a macintosh and .exe programs are for the PC world. Anyone have any ideas how to install car symbols on a TomTom One XL?

My wife bought a TomTom One (the small gps device) and it came with five different cars in 'preferences'. I bought the TomTom One XL thinking it would have all of the same features as the TomTom One. But it seems as if TomTom didn't put the old features in the newer Tom Tom. I don't understand why they would not make a newer and more expensive TomTom that didn't have the features contained in their older models.

Anyone have any ideas how to put a car symbol on my TomTom One XL.

Did you ever get your new car symbol patch to work? I cannot get mine to work. I click onto a different car symbol (Fahrzeugsymbo) - It says it has changed to the new choice, but it keeps the old arrow (Fahrzeugsymbol-Default).


I searched forever and finally found in fine print that the map has to be in 3D instead of 2D for anything other than the arrow to show up.
