OS Maps on a Tom Tom ONE UK (new edition)

[JohnTT]

I think I should have posted this here yesterday

I'm new to this Sat Nav malarkey but have just bought a Tom Tom ONE UK which I think is excellent and I've loaded it with speed camera warnings etc. Great so far :D

What I'd really like, however, is a way of loading OS map detail. I understand the size issue would only make this possible for a limited amount of the UK at a time. What I'm not sure of is is it possible to display the OS map on the Tom Tom and still have routing work?

Doing an alternative map to the existing Tom Tom map would be a mamouth task but perhaps the existing one could be kept and an OS map overlaid. I was wondering if it could be overlaid as a huge POI bitmap locked to a co-ordinate. Problem is it would not rotate with the Tom Tom map but at least you could turn it on and off. I tried this but found the icon size is limited

It would be nicer if it could be a background image somehow. I notice there is a "raster" folder containing *.jpg and *.sat files. The jpg files are an aerial view seen as a background image when zoomed out on the map. The sat files may perhaps be co-ordinate and elevation information (I'm guessing). Could something be overlaid by putting OS jpg files here with some manipulated co-ordinate data?

Any ideas?
