One Response to “How do you add a personal vehicle picture to a tomtom gps?”

  1. How to create your own car symbol:

    The image size should be 80×80 pixels.
    The image background should be red (RGB 255,000,000). The red background in the image will be shown as transparent by your TomTom.
    The image should be saved as a 24 bit .bmp (bitmap).

    TIP: Note that car symbols can appear on dark or light areas on the map, so your car symbol might not stand out on all areas. Therefore it’s a good idea to add a light line around a dark icon and a dark line around a light icon.

    How to upload your own image to your TomTom:

    Connect your device to your computer.
    In TomTom HOME, click Add maps, traffic, voices, etc.
    Click Car Symbol.
    Click Continue.

    TomTom HOME opens a window showing the available car symbols on your TomTom.
    Drop your new image in this window.
    Disconnect your TomTom by clicking Device > Disconnect device from the HOME menu.

    How to change the car symbol on your TomTom:

    Tap Change preferences in the Main menu.
    Tap Change car symbol.
    Select your new image.

    Note: Car Symbols are only shown in 3D map view. To switch to 3D map view, tap Change Preferences > Change 2D/3D display > 3D map
