Thanks Baffles, works great with TomTom, although I had the change the time from 20-60. But great work. One other thing that would be helpful is to put the save button at the top, because I tend not to read things all the way through

Great work. I just logged in to see if anybody had responded to my complaint about having to start gmaps in order to run TomTom. Look forward to your updates.

works great...
only request i have is that it would be nice if it cloned the icon of the GPS app we select and adds a shortcut into windows>start menu>programs

or if it is at least user selectable...

using tomtom also had to up my time out to 60 but its working non the less...thanks

This is actually very easy to do. You just need to find the icon within the exe or dll of the program that you want the icon from. I posted a small tutorial HERE

But basicly all you need is to create a shortcut the the program bafgpsv01t.exe
So you have a Shortcut, lets name it bafgps.LNK
Go to properties and it will show you

"/storage card/bafgpsv01t.exe"

now the "/storage card" part will vary depending on where you put the file.
Next you need to know the location of the icon within the dll or exe file. Use Rviewer for this. TomTom's icon is indexed at the 0 location.
So to add the icon to the shortcut you add

?Location of the exe or dll,-index location

so the Shortcut bafgps.LNK that looked like

"/storage card/bafgpsv01t.exe"

will now look like

"/storage card/bafgpsv01t.exe"?/storage card/program files/navigator/tomtom navigator.exe,-0

Should be able to. I use Resco, but it should work fine.

worked perfectly thanks again, i forgot the "?" at first...
but its workn now!!

only other problem ive noticed is that when exiting tomtom, it will sometimes lock up, i guess when the app is in the proccess of releasing the gps...ive had to softreset and pull the batter once...
