TomTom talk

 

TomTom VIA 1530

Hey, folks. Has anybody worked with this device?
I'm especially interested to know if it's possible to configure the device, so it will advice about changing a route if I missed a turn for example. Garmin always says "recalculating" so you know something is wrong. TomTom does it silently and sometimes it can take you a much longer route, while a simplied solution is to make a u-turn

CURRENT.GPX (transfer the Favorites file from nuvi)

Tried to transfer the Favorite file from my 855 to my new 3790lmt. The problem is that I can't find the current.gpx file in the 855. I don't know if I made have deleted it by mistake or not. How do I retrive the file.

Any way to create route on web and transfer to TomTom as Intinerary?

I just spent two hours trying to create an itinerary on the TomTom that avoided roads that I cannot drive on. Is there anyway to create a route on any routing web site - and which - and transfer it to the TT as a new itinerary to be saved in the itinerary section for later use?

How Many of You Buy the Map Update?

I am curious as to how many buy the map updates (either yearly or quarterly) and why or why not. This does not include those lucky souls who have the free annual updates.

Conversation I had with Ford Executive Office Regarding CUSTOM POI's

I don't know what the procedure is on duplicate posts, but since this isn't just Garmin Related, I'll post this in both forums......

I Complained considerably in a letter to Ford Exes about my new Escape not having the capability of User POI's, even though they have a Bi-Directional USB port and do accept programs and data from the USB port.

Police Radar Interference?

I was on a trip the other day, was using my TomTom 540XXL and all of a sudden the screen of the TT displayed a triangle and what appeared to be a pause sign and then went blank. At about that time, I looked around and noted a Police Car on the side of the road facing my direction. I am assuming his radar gun was on when it hit my TT.

870 Edition maps are available thru TomTom Home or TomTom.com.

TomTom 2535

I have been asked to give my opinion about the 2535. I have had it for about six weeks now and it is everything I hoped for and more. I love everything about it. I have had zero issues with it and it is working great. The only issue is the "My TomTom" application. TomTom is being very slow to bring it up to speed. They are adding things sporadically.

Sharing files between TT One and TT XL

Is it possible to share maps between TT One and TT XL?? I owned a TT one for about 2 or 3 years and recently bought a TT XL for my wife. I notice that the XL map have some good corrections made. I would like to know if it's possible to copy the map of the XL on the computer and then write it on the TT one. If it's possible witch files are the correct ones???

Thanks,

Screens

does anyone know where you can get the screen repaired at on these GPS's?

Custom POI Icons

I just got a TomTom Indash (Eclipse) and I am looking to put custom POIs on the unit. I see how to install the POI file but how do I add a custom icon for those files?

TT sells users GPS tracking data to police

Tom Tom sells customer's aggregate tracking data to police to show where people often speed; aids police in placing speed traps.

Now if they were REALLY smart, they would sell it to us as likely spots to expect speed traps.

TomTom 2535

New TomTom will be released around mid-April. Anyone planning on taking the plunge?

Tom Tom Custom POI/Icon tip of the day>>>

First, the disclaimer: This works with my TT 340XLS. I am pretty sure it will work for you but no guarantees!

POI icons not shown on Map Browser....

I downloaded several POI files and matched them up with icons files from this site. I made sure the icon names matched the POI files names. I even made sure all the icons were 22 X 22 pixels, set to 8 bit color depth (256 Colors) and set to 72DPI resolution.

When I go to the POI listing I can see that the POI files have linked to the proper icon files. However, when I elect to show a POI on the Map Browser, the icons do not show. I have tried zooming into the Map to see if they would show up then. They don't. Some POI/Icon files work just fine and others do not. All the POI sites show up in the list with the distance from my current location.

What am I missing here? Like I said before, all the POI files have linked to their appropriate icon files as shown by the POI listing. Only some of them will show up on the map when 'Show POI on Map' is selected.

At first I suspected the icon files were not in the proper format. As I said above, I changed their format to be all the same. Doing this did not fix the issue. Some still show and some do not.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just received the Ram Mount I ordered for my 340 XLS>>>

one very cool piece of pizzazz! Planning a long motorcycle tour this Summer and didn't want to have the EZ mount screwed to my speedo glass (hard to keep track of gas gauge and can't see odometer). Decided on the Ram and it really is very handy and easy to use.

Tom Tom .OV2 File

Looking for assistance. I just down loaded a updated "Diners Drive-Ins and Dives" file .OV2 format to my Tom Tom device folder as I have in the past. I saved the new file in the "USA and Canada" folder. It looked like ny device was "updating". I disconnected the Tom Tom from the computer and can access any catagory "Point of Interst" and I can see the Diners Drive-Ins and Dives icon.
