I have recently brought the TomTom Start but cannot work out how to avoid motorways!!

I have been told that there is a download to customise the menu options so that avoiding motorways can be accessed...can anybody help me out with this please?!

Thank you Very Happy

That thread has all the custom menu lines that are known to work on the Start, it also has a number of suggested menu text that can be copied from the forum post straight in to NotePad and then saved as TomTom.txt

Next change the file extension from .txt to .mnu using Windows Explorer.

Finally create a folder called "SDKRegistry" (without the "") this needs to be in the root of the device, copy the TomTom.mnu file to the SDKRegistry folder on the device.

Open Explorer. Click 'Tools'. Select 'Folder options'. Click the 'View' tab. Scroll down the list a bit and uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types'. (Win 7, but earlier versions is a similar process) 'OK' your way out.

Back up your device first with Win Explorer. (If you can on a Start)

Windows Explorer NOT Internet Explorer.

Click Start/ Computer as Windows Explorer is often entered from that menu - Mike
