TomTom One Third Edition

Thanks all for the advice. I think I'm a little less confused now. To get a One with an SD slot I have to get any that is not called a 3rd edition. The difficulty there is that most of the online retailers are not calling it 3rd edition either and, living where I do, I can't just go into a store and look at one.

I might just stick to Navigator 6 until I can afford a Go. Assuming that TT doesn't do away with the SD slot in those. Laughing

Just go for a One XL as they all come with an SD slot.

Just a quick question...

I used to have a Pocket PC (iPAQ) with TomTom Navigator 5 software but this has since broken so I can't use it any more. It used to really annoy me that it was only capable of saving 20 favourite locations on it. I am now thinking of getting a TomTom One V3 as a replacement and wondered if someone could tell me how many favourites you can store on it?

Many thanks in advance,

Nick

48 is the limit for favourite locations, although I would use a custom home made POI file to store locations, this way you can have thousands of location.
When I say "Home Made" I don't mean using TomTom Home software, I thought this should be pointed out - just create a POI category on the device and add the locations to it - Mike

Thanks for getting back to me so soon Mike. That sounds really good and I think I will treat myself to a new TomTom unit!!!

Maybe try for a One XL rather than a "3rd Edition"?

Has anyone made any progress on recovering the help options via the custom menu?

I remember reading that someone with more brains than most had hacked into the system deep enough to see all the menu codes and there was NO mention of the Help Me and Map Correction items, so they are coded in a totally different way, not through the .mnu

I have to revise my previous message. While nobody has found a way to have both the custom menu and the original Help Me and Map Correction menu items simultaneously, someone has created a program to switch between the two on the fly using just the TomTom menu, without connecting to a computer.

The program is called MenuTT and is located here:

http://www.tomtomheaven.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=325&Itemid=29

This page is in French, but not to worry, when you download the program you find that there is a Read Me file in English, which explains how to install and use the program.

There are a couple of items that deserve explanation:

1. There is a folder called icones_optionnelles. In English, this is optional icons and it's just what it says. You can use these icons instead of the default ones. Make sure you put the optional ones in the right place -- the two icons go in different folders. There is also an optional sound file (the program plays a short sound file at the switch).

2. When the switch occurs there is a delay of about 10 seconds and the TomTom goes back to the Legal Notice screen. You lose any planned routes you had running in the process.

3. In the documentation he says he will let you find the icon to get back to the custom menu. Here's a hint -- open the PDF in the optional icons folder.

Hello ... I tried the TTMenu and could not get it to work. I want to have it switch from my custom menu to the original TT one. I would think this could be simple to setup.

If anyone got this working, please let me know how.

Please inform me if someone finds the way to keep the existing menu of TomTom ONE Third Edition Europe Version 7.166, just adding Itinerary planning & Manage POIs

And keeping TomTomSafety Cameras, Map corrections & Help me.

I don't understand why you are unable to do it if you did a menu of 8 pages!!

I don't know why TomTom has hidden all these important options!!!!! Evil or Very Mad

Thank you guys! Wink
