Not sure what you mean by 'hack', just install TomTom and set the GPS Configuration to 'Other NMEA GPS Receiver'.
GPS baud rate: 4800
Serial Cable on SP2:

Why would you want to run Tom Tom on a MyGuide? I thought MyGuide has navigation software already installed. Why buy another system to clutter it up?

DennisN,
The MyGuide software is really useless, I tried it for a few days, it's possible to drive for 3 miles without it even updating, it's total rubbish.
(much faster and easier to knock somebody's front door and ask for directions)
Also it's not possible to add the speed camera database.
The best option it to remove it completely from the PocketPc (MIO)
and throw away the software that came with it.

I think Alix has given a pretty straight answer to the software issue and Sab2244 was able to get the cameras.
