I thought that it was about time that I experimented with custom menus on TomTom Navigator 5 for the PocketPC.
The first menu I created was identical to the default TomTom menu just as an experiment, so that I could get used to the structure of the coding. I used skuX’s excellent online menubuilder to create the menu. I used Notepad to change the headings.
There are a couple of things that I couldn't find. I wonder if anybody knows the identification name of the following tasks?
Call Number (default Main Menu 3 of 4)
CheckPOInt (which by default, installs into Main Menu 4 of 4)
Is there a definitive list (preferably with icon and the task identification name) that can be downloaded? Does anybody know if the SDK5 manual describes custom menus and if it does, whether the SDK5 manual can be downloaded (preferably in .PDF format)?

For CheckPOInt, use menubuilder and insert the icon for 'Switch to POI-Warner' - it displays as checkpoint if you have it installed instead of poi-warner

For the phone one edit the file in notepad and replace an item with
TASK_DIAL_POI

Ok I have just built my first menu using the online Skux systems (what a great bit of software that is), installed it (only got it working following this tread so many thanks to all) - Has anyone noticed the two arrows for navigation through the menus - both mine point to the Right but they do opperate in different directions? this is on the O2XDAIIs - Any thoughts - Mike |

Mike, how did you get the "call number" icon on this skux menu?

I used the last avail item, which was save poi, when compiled up it gave me the phone option, but it doesn't work, so i am going try a text based edit along the lines set out on this thread - i am just confused why the page back arrow has the same appearance as forwards, i also put the arrows on the middle line but when i created the menu it over rides the bottom rh icon from that chosen to next page will get there in the end - great bit of software though - Mike |

Hi Rabdo and BarMuda,
Rabdo wrote: | For CheckPOInt, use menubuilder and insert the icon for 'Switch to POI-Warner' - it displays as checkpoint if you have it installed instead of poi-warner |
It tried that and got:
TASK_SDK1
Rabdo, I’m trying to use another third party application alongside CheckPOInt and unfortunately both third party applications use the same menu function name, which makes the menu building rather interesting! ;) I may have an experiment with the .CAP file to see if I can get the menu functions of both CheckPOInt and the other application to appear correctly in the menu. Thanks for the information though.

I also have an XDA IIs. I have created my first SKUX menu, but even though I am dropping the notepad file into a created SDKRegistry folder I cannot get anything to happen. Any ideas Mike?

Check the web site as to the specific instructions as to where the folder must reside - I have wiped my unit at the moment so I can't give you much more than this - I found the answer on the site and got it all working - if I have a play around over the weekend (which I more than likely will) I will let you know more - I do remember it needed to be the SDKregistry folder contained in another folder called tomtom, but I am not too sure if that was on the SD card or in the programs navigator folder in the main memory (I think it was the later)- Mike |

Andy, Mike, Luz thanks for your input. The skux menu's have been mastered. If I can do it anyone can!
Such a lovely application.
All the best,

Several time before this question has been asked, but I can not see the answer.
Is there any way to change the entries on a sub menu, eg if you select "Navigate to..." there is the Navigate to sub menu with home, favourite, address etc.
Thanks for help |

You can create a set of menus and sub menus (I think??) _________________ -------------------------------------------------------
