1. So with little left to lose (this sat-nav was a freeby), I wiped the SD card and started again.
I connected to TTHome to download the latest app for it (7.903).
Then following the advice above, downloaded UK+RoI 880.3868 with automatic installer.
Then downloaded FastActivate and kick-started it all into life.

Well, it's worked! I've got the maps working (havn't got a signal yet) and the new roads in the area are on it.
2. Two minor things though, there's a problem with the postcodes, can only put half a code in, and
3. I can't make me own splash screen.
4. Anyway, thanks for the help, just needed a push in the right direction. Donation inbound :)


1. Starting over was the reason I asked about a backup.
2. All New Maps 880.XXXX Look in post 1 just under the compatibility chart for the fix to your post code issue.
3. Why not?
4. You are Welcome. Thanx for the donation.

This thread is concerning a TT One V4, not a Binatone. I believe you might have misread post 1.

Cool, Postcodes now all working :)
I tried making a splash screen, saved it as splash.bmp and dropped it in SD card root. Nowt happened.
So re-named it as splashw.bmp as suggested in some threads, still not working.
I can't find an original s/s file either, and currently have no s/s working. Not a problem, just nice to have it right.

AlertPay currently not accepting Visa, AMEX only, will check back later.

The good folk here helped me install Igo8 onto a vintage Binatone X350, with a bit of pushing in the right direction I worked it out.

But my latest challenge, trying to update a TT One V4 is causing me a headache.

Did you follow these instructions to create your splash screen?

Standard screen devices
You can create a new start-up image using a graphics program such as Photoshop.
1.

Create an image of 320 x 240 pixels in size (RIDER, ONE, GO Classic, GO 300/500/700).





2.

Save the image as a 24 bit bitmap file with the filename splash.bmp.





3.

Replace the splash.bmp file in the root of your TomTom device with the new image file.

BTW, the W in splashw.bmp means that it is for a wide screen device.

Yep, followed that to the letter. I've put a pic in the root of the SD card, but can't find the original.
Can't find it in any of the folders either.
When I switch the TomTom on and off, there's no splash screen, just grey screen.
Unless I press the reset button, then I get the TomTom screen and the bongo noise. So the TomTom splash screen is still there, I just can't find it!


AlertPay still not accepting Visa :(

1. Confirm that you followed these instructions for your picture:
Selecting an image from your photo gallery as a start-up image
You can easily use one of the images in your photo gallery as a start-up image.
[TD="width: 20"][font="Verdana"]1.[/font]
Upload a photo to your TomTom navigation device using TomTom HOME.





[TD="width: 20"][font="Verdana"]2.[/font]
Tap Change preferences in the Main Menu of your TomTom device.





[TD="width: 20"][font="Verdana"]3.[/font]
Tap Start-up preferences.





[TD="width: 20"][font="Verdana"]4.[/font]
Tap Done.
You are asked whether you want to change the startup image.
[TD="width: 20"][font="Verdana"]5.[/font]
Select your new startup image.


You won't find it.

Looks like this won't work with this TT. In TTHome, the bit for uploading photos is shaded out, if I click on it message says 'this function not compatible with your device' or summit like that.

Funny thing is, I can download one of the ones already available on TTHome (other peoples) but can't seem to make my own work???

Forget TT Home. Label your photo XXX.bmp (not splash.bmp) & copy it into the photo folder on your device. Then do steps 2 thru 5

When I tap 'Done' in step 4, it goes straight back to the map screen, and doesn't ask if I want to change the photo.

The pic I uploaded from TTHome has in the ART folder (there wasn't an art folder before uploading this) as a .TLV image.
Is this relevent?

1. Confirm that your photo is in the photo folder.
2. EVERY navcore has an ART folder. That is where the "vehicle/car icons" are located.
3. No.

No, there was neither an ART or PHOTO folder before I started messing with the spalsh screen. I then downloaded a pic from TTHome, this created a new folder in the SD card root called ART.

I've tried putting my pics into this ART folder and also direct into the SD card root.

Still don't have a PHOTO file :(
