Use MS Paint to create a 24x24 image and save it as 24-bit color under the name Friends.bmp in your map directory. (North_America in my case.) For example, if you named the POI category Friends, then the file Friends.ov2 will show up in your map directory. Once you've created a custom POI category, you will find an "ov2" file in your map directory. I used Microsoft Paint to make a few of my own. If you want to create your own icon for your cutom POI category that is pretty easy. Place the following file in a directory called schemes on the TomTom SD card and then you can select it as your night color scheme: I liked the "night vision" like green screen but didn't like the green route and turns so I modified it so it has a yellow route and red turns. Here's a link to a TomTom color scheme editor: It is also possible to build your own custom color schemes. It might come in handy on the road someday. I made a small web for my TomTom which has troubleshooting info for K bikes and wiring diagrams.

If you want to go back to the factory menu, just rename the tomtom.mnu file to something else and reboot.ĭocument and html files you wish to access on the TomTom should be placed in a directory called "text" on the TomTom SD card. Once you've changed the menu file, you need to reboot the TomTom to load the new menu you created. There's a couple of freeware menu editors out there but I found it easy enough just to manually build my own menu in Notepad. I'd try both of the following commands in the menu file: Perhaps on the second version it might work. I was able to get the jukebox to appear on my 1st edition Rider menu but it didn't work. MENUITEM|TASK_DOC_BROWSER| <- This menu item enables the document browser MENUITEM|TASK_SDK1| <-This menu option is for the Tripmaster software

Looking at this should give you an idea of how to structure the menu file: It's stored in the sdkregistry folder on the SD card. Here's what my custom menu file looks like. I have my menu triimmed down and also added items for the Tripmaster software and the TomTom document reader which can view text, html and image(gif/bmp/jpeg) files. Using TomTom SDK commands you can build your own custom menu. (bootstart yes makes the tripmaster software load and log automatically so it's always logging unless I turn it off) Alarmfilename /mnt/sdcard/tripmaster/speed_alarm.ogg
