Well as everyone is well aware, the itinerary feature, along with menu option to manage your POI's is gone. Something that I don't think anyone has mentioned, is the safety options menu, I was unable to find a menu TASK command that would let me launch that item as well.
I didn't want to lose the help me or the map corrections menu items, but it doesn't look like there is currently any way around it. I even decompressed the ttsystem file and hex edited the ttn binary looking for additional commands (no dice).
It took a bit of time with the automated tools and a copy of notepad, but I now have a menu file that is layed out just like the default menu and includes all of the original items except:
* help me
* map corrections
* safety prefs
* safety cameras
* reset factory settings
I have also added:
* Itinerary Planning
* POI Management
* Name Prefs
* Backlit Prefs
* Hide Clock
I installed Tripmaster first (SDK1), Suntime second (SDK2). Tripmaster is on the main menu, suntime is on the preferences menu. Warn when near POI is still there, just not a separate menu item (it's under POI management).
As others have said, you can access the map corrections feature by entering the map browser and tapping the blue circle at the bottom of the screen. The Help Me feature is inaccessible, but then again I don't really see how useful it's really going to be since you can essentially access the same information from a POI search (if dialing 911 isn't enough!?)
One idea I had was to create a plugin menu item, much like suntime or tripmaster, that would point to a shell script that would swap out the TomTom.mnu file for you. You could then switch back and forth from your custom menu to the default by tapping a menu item. I'm assuming that a reboot would be required in-between, but this would allow you to use the custom menu when you need the missing features, and the normal menu when you don't. Unfortunately I don't think the tt likes shell scripts too much, this process may have to be done with a binary file instead (anyone have a development environment going?
)
Here is my menu file, please copy/paste this into notepad, then when you select to save the file, hit the dropdown for save as type and select all files, then type TomTom.mnu as the filename (case sensitive). When you are done, copy it into the sdkregistry folder of your TomTom.
Please note, that if you intend on modifying the menu, please do so in Notepad. It seems that some of the stuff I've used here doesn't play nicely with the online tool or the menu builder you install on your machine locally.
