thanks
i managed to get it working. please if you can help the only thing i cant figure out is how to change the map background colour because it is grey but the rest is ok. just one question i installed a west european map wich seems ok. for speedcamera i added all speedcamera files for uk and other european country in the map folder and for the uk postcode i created a folder cold zip and added it to the sd root. is this the right way. the postcode seems to work but im not sure if i did the speedcamera the right way. also if i want to change map i just delete the current map and copy the new map and just activete it.
thanks again

Map background colour is on page three of settings but the map will be grey until you've picked up a satellite lock,
Speedcams, Yes this is right although Tomtom premium cams will need activating like the maps, Too many individual cam files will slow your device down.
Postcodes, correct.
Changing maps, correct.

hi
everything it is ok, the only problem is the map graphic, i changed map colour bust stil gray or red it does not show ok even after i connect to a satellite. if i switch to the binatone system the map graphic is very good like reality, maybe there is a problem with the tomtom map. is there a way to adjust the map graphic or should i change map

Have you got a satellite lock yet? There are several map display colours in the settings, page three.

hi
yes it connect to a satellite, there are only 4 maps display but what ever i select it wont make much difference either grey or red backgound even when there is gps connection. i thought that the graphic on a tomtom would be live with clear road view or at least as my original binatone.

On the colour select screen you can tap advanced and there are more colour schemes to choose from. The WinCE version of Tomtom is a bit basic, If you want more fancy graphics then have a look at iGO.
