Way to go...

Do you mind to share?

Thanks. I started with this:

Turned it into this:

And the result is this:

I also changed the splash screen to this:

And I created one of my wife's car for hers as well:

Do you mean share the result or how I did it?

Nice!

Very nice job.
I will start right away on similar project. I have the entire Garmin vehicle library on my nuvi, and can't say I care for any of them.
Happy navving

p.s. Nice car also!!!

Nice job and nice car too.

I cleaned it up a bit:

Looks better now:

BTW, The car is off the road because I'm in my office.

Looks nice. Unfortunately, don't think we can do that with Garmin. Still love my Garmin, though

You did some great work there

I have linked this thread to the Tom Tom FAQ area, great job equality. I changed the title of the thread also;)

Miss POI

Just be aware that the actual image placed on the device is a 24 bit bmp NOT jpg as shown above. For some reason it changed to jpg when I uploaded to my image host.

The Image Format is as follows:
Bitmap format (*.bmp)
24-bit color
80 x 80 pixels
Transparency color (shroud) is true RED
(R: 255, G: 0, B:0)

Hope that helps you creative types....

Good stuff there. Pretty much the way I did it.

Thanks for sharing man. I'll give it a shot.

Does anyone know if this works on the PDA Version of TomTom?

So far only TomTom 7 (default support) and some limited PNA (TomTom one xl etc, had custom loader support).

This works great.
Thanks!

I am very interested in the steps you took in MS Paint to create the bmp image from your photograph. THANX.

FYI, with the newer Navcores, there is no need to use the web site quoted above. MS Paint, Corel Photo-Paint or Adobe Photoshop is all you need.

I really like the Garmin 360, nice form factor.Not sure if it’s much better as a GPS than the 200 series, didn’t do a side by side, but has SIRFIII and other features that the 2XX don’t have.

Anyone have a problem changing the default vehicle. On mt Tom Tom ONE 130S, no matter which vehicle I choose it only uses the default vehicle.

Any ideas?
