tomtom go 300 maps help

Try X40 or 34 XL, I think it was one of those I used to get the option for ALG and TomTom services for speedcams together last time I did a Go 300.

It's been a while, but I remember it being the only option that allowed both together.

how do i do it
do i have to make a cofig file in the root of the sd card
can you please send me a link to the post so that i can have a look
thanks

Do you have an icon in the main menu that looks like "DSA"?

That's the skin selector.

Tapping it allows you to scroll through the different skins and either tapping, long tapping or double tapping (can't remember) on the center icon reboots the device with the selected skin.

Your device may get stuck in a reboot loop if the skin isn't suitable, you will need to edit the skin/reskin file to fix it.

i dont have any icon like the DSA in the main menu

Then turn off your device, put the sd card into a pc and look in the skin folder for a file called "reskin"

Open this file in notepad.

test run the new installed maps ,
tom tom not perfoming well
it would loose the track of the road the direction of the car symbol would be stranded and it looses the gps , and would miss the route and recalaculate...........recalculatin ,losses the gps lock , but it locks to the gps in the home ok with 4 bars ,

If that doesn't work, or the device doesn't boot try another emulation.

I don't have a TomTom, I'm doing this from memory.

If he is using one og my Navcores and not something he mixed together....

I was perplexed about the lack of a skin button in the menu!

35-xl did the trick
it has changed the entire lay out ,looks cool
the demo is running quicker
and the lanes are shown at the bottom mid of the navigation bar ,is there any emu which will make it to go on top like
now can i change the skin from withing the tomtom is that right

thanks

im using rider NC 9.510 which i downloaded from here
thanks

I don't know about moving the lane assist arrows, but stick with the current emulation as I remember only one being suitable on a Go 300.

Tested again this morning and fingers crossed all is working fine
Thanks for all esp fatboyfun for his help and time. Now got a go 300 (2005) working with the latest maps of UK and roi
Now I can move to next task to put a bigger sd card
and putting Europe maps, and onto the go 730 for the
weekend
A big thanks to fatboyfun, down under and tendriver.
