I've moved your query to a more suitable forum. The answer depends on what version of TomTom you have and on what device it is running? _________________ Darren Griffin |

You can turn the the screen around in TT5 within the TomTom program, but in TT6 you will need at least win 2003se to enable both Portrait and Landscape within the operating system because the facility was removed from TomTom in this version. |

Any of you techies out there know if it's possible to make some sort of bat file to turn the screen then load TomTom.
I keep forgetting to turn it around and the power socket of my pda is at the bottom so I have to mount it very high on the screen to fit it in portrait. |

If your on 2003se, then you should be able to map one of the buttons to rotate the screen, what pda and TTn vers are you on, more help may then be available. |
