I couldn't find instructions on this site or via Google on how to upload (where to save) my custom car symbols that I created. I used my editor & saved them as 80x80 BMP files, but don't know how to get them to the GPS.

I found several posts about the art/cars folder in Windows, but nothing on the Mac.

This is the 1st time I've tried to customize any GPS stuff as I just won a TomTom XXL 540m yesterday. I did find a cool A-10 Thunderbolt car symbol, but I've created a few of my own that I'd like to be able to use.

Thanks,
Jen

Hi and welcome.

You're only using the computer to move stuff around and put it in the right place on the Tomtom, so it shouldn't make any difference what type of computer you're using.

The reference to the art/cars folder is on the TomTom itself not your computer, so if the car cursor is the right size, shape and format, just copy the file into the art/ cars folder on the TomTom and the system should find it.

(I'm assuming you know how to connect the TomTom to your computer and open the storage memory? It's just like connecting an external disk drive or USB stick.)

If it's any help. TomTom have produced a "Create your own Content" guide HERE, which includes details for car cursors.
