Tomtom alternative version


With lots of help from Fatboyfun, have finally got the MyGuide 4200 to work with TT Ver 7.910.
1. Download TT from the above link (Unzips as 'tomnav')
2. Rename unzipped folder to [color="blue"]Navigator[/color]
3. Copy the [color="blue"]Navigator[/color] folder to a FAT formatted SD Card. (Using a card reader)
4. Copy your required cracked map to the SD card. (Using a card reader)
5. Connect your 4200 to your computer via USB
6. Open the 'Flash Disk'
7. Copy the 'IGOPATH.TXT' file to your computer hard drive.
8. Open the copied file with Notepad.
9. Rewrite the 'Navigate' line to Navigate = "", "\\Storage Card\\Navigator\\TomTom Navigator.exe"
10. Save the amended file.
11. Copy the amended 'IGOPATH.TXT' file back to the 4200's Flash Disk.
12. Insert your FAT SD Card into the 4200
13. Reset the 4200 by using the On/Off switch on the back of the unit.
14. Switch On and a TT symbol should now be seen on the 'Navigate' button
15. GPS Port is 6, speed = 9600
16. This information can be found by opening the 'DATA.ZIP' file on the 4200's Flash Disk
Open the 'Config' folder. Open the 'pocket_pc.ini' file with Notepad.
Approximately 2/3 down the text is a MYGUIDE4200 section.
The 4200 defaults to GPS Port 5 (But saves to port 6 after TT is configured)
Without Fatboyfun's help I would have given up this project. Once again thanks for your help Fatboyfun.:clap:
