Default New Tom Tom startup Screen

While I don't have the full inbuild satnav I wanted to give my recently aquired one (Thanks Stubie) the Rover look.

When Tom Tom starts this is hte new screen I am presented with.




What do you think? I'll probably change it to a proper picture of a Rover 75 when I get the chance and a good enough image.


It's an easy thing to do. Even easier on TomTom original Satnavs as on those you only have to change a bitmap file on the device. when it's running under Windows CE you have to ecit the main EXE. not hard but a little more difficult.

If anyone else wants to change the file on there Satnav I'll provide a HOW-TO.

Very nice mod, can you also change the display of the arrow pointer to be a rover 75? I have done this on TomTom that's installed on my smartphone but alas I can't change the startscreen on it.
