Height (Altitude)

I like this program! Got it to work on first attempt AFTER reading all instructions.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting the "how to". I tried several different ways to put the files on the device and finally got it after reading this thread. none of the other instructions mentioned putting the files in a directory called "Height".

This was the key that kept it from working for me, but now it does. Thanks

Could you please post a screen shot of how the config file needs to look to make this work on a tomtom one 3rd edition. I tried it and it only displayed a 7 on my driving screen.

Here's mine, on the device as x:\Height\height.cfg (case may or may not be important)
That "d7" looks like is the problem. You're seeing "7" on the screen, which means that "7" is the number you need to put next to "d".

For whatever reason, my unit uses screen number "7" for both day and night. So I found the screen number for the map screen, and told Height that it's the night screen "n59131". That way, I have altitude displayed in regular mode and in map mode.

Hope that helps!

I sure would like to get "Height" to work, but even after reading Jougart's and several other's installation instructions and trying many possible configuration of the files, I still get repeated resets of my TomTom 740 Live. It never reaches the third brightness level of the startup screen.

I am unable to match the files/extracted-files from the .zip download with the various instructions.
The downloaded file was:
height_11.zip
which when unzipped resulted in:
Height_11.cab
Height_11.toc
Extracting the files from Height_11.cab gave:
height.cfg
height.so
ttn
ttninit
but no folders.

I have tried all files in the root directory, the height files in a Height directory, ttninit and Height_11.toc variously on the root and Height directories, but none suffice.

Maybe the program won't work with the 740, application 8.370, map v830.2284.

Has anyone been successful with the 740 (or equivalent) and if so, with what software and files/configuration?

How about:

* Delete any files that you copied previously
* Reboot
* Copy just the ttn file to the root
* Put height.cfg and height.so in a directory called "Height"
* Make sure the capitalization matches

If that doesn't work, then you've reached the limit of my expertise! (that was a short journey!)

"Height" is working on my 740, thanks to Joghurt!
He indicated that my .cab file was not unpacking properly, listed where the files should go and all works!
Thanks, Joghurt.

I can not get height to work on my 740. It just keeps re-booting. I'm placing the two heigh files in a "Height" folder and the ttn file in the root. What am I doing wrong???

JimT, sorry for taking so long to reply, but just got out of the hospital.
Unfortunately I don't remember the exact answer to the problem, but was associated with the structure of the unzipped files, they were all at the same level when I unzipped them.
The solution was obtained when I e-mailed Jorgut and he sent me the correct formation of the files. Again, I'm unable to find that information, I think it was on one of the other TomTom forums.
If you still need it, let me know and I'll continue to search for it, or try to diesect my files.

Hello Bayard!! Yes I would still like to install height. I just can't get it to work. I can work anyother plugin but this one. THNX for your help!
