They go in the map folder. If your new map is on the card, they go in the map folder on the card. If all you've got on the card is a folder called Central Europe (or similar), they go in that.

Has anyone had any joy with the instructions in this link http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=136159
I have foolishly bought the new IQ2, but cannot get the instructions in the above link to work.


You have to create a new folder in the root drive of your device and use the exact folder name (with upper and lower case):

SdkRegistry

Then you place the TomTom.mnu into that folder and restart your TT after disconnecting it from your pc via the Safely Remove Hardware Icon.

I have no idea if it will work, but try my menu for the TT ONE v4 HERE

Even if it does not work you can see how the files are placed into the root drive.

You can disable the menu at any time by renaming the TomTom.mnu file or deleting it. The next time you then start your TT it will go back to the original default menu.


Thats great!! Thankyou!! I used your file, but my iq wouldn't change from the menu screen at all. To fix this I went into the TomTom.MNU file and changed your text for the text in the link I already had. Now I have all the cameras on there and the voice alerts as well

If I delete the SdkRegistry folder from the unit now, will I lose all the speed camera alerts?

I think that when I was originally trying to create the MNU file I wasn't saving it in the correct format.

If anyone buys an IQ2 then don't panic about not being able to get the camera database from this site onto it. It can be done!!

I must admit I was quite interested in updating to one of the newer Tom Tom 25 series models from by GO520 which I've had for many years. Looks like I'll be looking at a Garmin or NavMan now then. I think the brand allegiance I had to Tom Tom has just gone out the window. More fool them I say. Oh well, bye bye Tom Tom.

In case you hadn't realised, TomTom do now support POIs on the newer devices.

Huh? I don't think this thread has anything to do with that...
it's not referring to the iPhone app at all.

It was referring to a particular TomTom ONE model a long time ago and a software update restored things to normal soon after.

I see you've posted about this issue here as well.

Any suggestions from anyone, post them in that topic please.
