Hope you are feeling better now ..........
Hi Everybody. Just got my 550 XXL with Easy Menu. Read this thread and loaded ?PARIDER?S? custom menu.
For the most part it works great! However there are two things that perhaps someone can help me with.
FIRST QUESTION:
When I click on the Compass, I get the following choices
? None
? One with arrow pointing north
? One with arrow showing your heading
? One with arrow pointing to your destination (Then ?Done?)
I select ?One with arrow showing your heading? and select ?Done?
When I navigate, however, the car icon and roads do not line up with my direction of travel. When I return to ?Compass?, I find that the choice has reverted back to ?None
When I select the option I want and then ?Done? and then go right back to the ?Compass? icon and select it again, my choice has been ignored and the option has reverted back to ?None?
Anyone else have this problem? Can I eliminate the three choices I will never use and keep the choice I want to use? (How?)
SECOND QUESTION:
I copied and pasted the TomTom.mnu to the sdkregistry and added it to the root directory.
Here is how my menus appear. The following is the start menu when the device starts up. The rest of the icons and pages follow:
Navigation:
Plan route
Change Route (Grayed out)
Avoid Part of Route (Grayed out)
Clear Route (Grayed out) (Then right arrow for next screen)
As you can see, most of the icons are displayed and work. Four of them on the ?Navigation? page are grayed out and selecting them does nothing. Any thoughts?
Just got the XXL 550. Another question I can't resolve.
How do you "SAVE" a correction to a route you have in "Favorites" and not have it re create the orginal route that it first calculated? How do you get it to recognize the corrections to that favorite route and use the corrected route from then on?

Again, thanks for your help Aiken. It worked!

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
I'm looking for this.
But with a description for each item saying what it does. The website it's from Menu structure - OpenTom has some of them described but doesn't have others.
Edit: I have a Tom Tom Ease
try this> on 550xxl tm. copy between ****** and paste in SdkRegistry. Page 1is null page. Page 2 through 5 are shortcut menu's to commands. Page 6 through 20 are command menu's which can be serially scrolled. Page 9 and 10 are special. Nine (9) is written to skip page 10. THIS IS BECAUSE: calling page ten always results in opening the route correction features. Calling page ten by itself (no actual page ten) gives this result and breaks scrolling. A call to page 10 is on page 14/15. This lets you get to route correction if you want to. Where the next page buttons will take you is indicated in legend at top of screen. As written some features are available in several places so there is room to cut the menu down some.
May be confusing at first so play with it. Would like to label the page buttons but can't make label's show. This custom menu lets you use itinerary planning. A neat way to use itinerary: Get a copy of GPSBabel (freeware) file converter for gps data. Use whatever map service to make a route and translate it to an itn file for tomtom and place it in the itn folder. You can then load the saved route using the itinerary function. Microsoft streets gives a gpx file that can be saved and translated to itn. Google maps will download points on map directly to TomTom but seems to do only one stop a route.
Thanks for the reply. I tried that, but it doesn't work. I opened the file in Photoshop, and saved it as a 16-bit bmp (smallest available option).
MENUITEM|TASK_MENU_PREFERENCES|"Options.bmp"|"Preferences"|
This is the actual Options.bmp file (Imageshack autoconverted it to png after I uploaded it):
The text is updated, but the picture is not. I still get a blank spot where the picture is supposed to be.
