Now, if only you could change the NA to a NB, and the colour to something more befitting a sports car, lets say Classic Red .

Finally, last request, lets give it a good number plate like the model designations we use here on the forum :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

You have to save it, open it in paint then save it as a 24bit .bmp file. You should know where to put the file... :D

Great work,

Can I rename and move it into the tech archives? :mrgreen:

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

This is so cool. I'm been a Navman fan, but this cursor thing is making me think when I update my GPS, I might go for a TomTom. :mrgreen:

My Navman was so crap that I gave it away .... late turn notifications, slow to pick up satellites, and useless when it came to recalculating routes - took so long that it would have been quicker to get the Street Directory out of the boot!
I love my TomTom ..... no complaints at all :D

do these work on the TomTom One?

I bought a One on Tuesday (not the One140, couldnt justify the extra cash for the small extras)
