TomTomGo - The serious end of the stick
Ok, so I'm starting to explore my TTG a little further than normal. Here's some nice features you can play with. if you're after the POI Sound Patcher, go here.
Colour Schemes
Download the Colour scheme editor from here (grab a couple of example styles while you're at it) and install it. Bear in mind - for me is started with iirc Svenska as the language. Just go to the second menu, and select the last option on that menu. That brings up the language dialog.
Next... create a folder on your Go - (again, linux is case sensitive)
schemes
Copy editied styles to this folder on your go.. remembering to make sure that the file has the extension
.clr
Do I need to mention that it's lower case (linux eh)... Go to Change preferences-> change map colours ... keep clicking the arrorws until you reach 'Plug-in scheme' then click select. You should see a list of your schemes. Select one to load for the day or night colours as required...
Modifying Menus
Ever wanted to reorganise your Tom Tom Go's menus? Want that special option on the first screen not 3 clicks in? Well you can. First of all you need to create a directory called (case sensitive!):
SdkRegistry
on your SD card. Within that folder create a file called (case sensitive!):
tomtom.mnu
Now paste the following into the file and save it.
MENUBLOCK|BLOCK_MAIN|BTM_GPS_POSITION|
MENUPAGE|TASK_PAGE1|Main Menu 1 of 3|
MENUITEM|TASK_NAVIGATE_TO|
MENUITEM|TASK_MENU_FIND_ALTERNATIVES|
MENUITEM|TASK_DELETE_ROUTE|
MENUITEM|TASK_ADD_FAVORITE|
MENUITEM|TASK_MENU_PREFERENCES|
MENUITEM|TASK_PAGE2|
MENUPAGE|TASK_PAGE2|Main Menu 2 of 3|
MENUITEM|TASK_MENU_PLAN_ATOB|
MENUITEM|TASK_SHOW_MAP|
MENUITEM|TASK_MENU_ROUTE_INSTRUCTIONS|
MENUITEM|TASK_MENU_PHONE|
MENUITEM|TASK_ITINERARY|
MENUITEM|TASK_PAGE3|
MENUPAGE|TASK_PAGE2|Main Menu 3 of 3|
MENUITEM|TASK_SHOW_WEATHER|
MENUITEM|TASK_MENU_DOWNLOAD|
MENUITEM|TASK_MENU_TRAFFIC|
MENUITEM|TASK_TUTORIAL|
MENUITEM|TASK_SHOW_GPS_STATUS|
MENUITEM|TASK_PAGE1|
This will exactly replicate the existing menu pages and structure. Pages start with the command MENUPAGE, individual menu items start with MENUITEM.
Example
Let's look at the text you just pasted into tomtom.mnu, change the line
MENUITEM|TASK_ADD_FAVORITE|
to
MENUITEM|TASK_SET_MAP|
and save the file. Once your Go restarts you'll notice that the "Add Favourite" option on the first page (when you press the centre of the screen) has changed to "Switch Map". Below is a list of the available options:

Additional notes
Bear in mind, that the GO runs Linux as operating system and that file- and directory names are case sensitive. Lines within the menu definition file must be terminated by a Linefeed character (0x0a) or a Carriage Return / Linefeed combination (0x0a,0x0d). Macintosh users must take care of that, as their editors normally don't insert a Linefeed. This options have been tested in software version 5.1 and 5.2 successfully. It may work with other releases too.
Changing Sound Names
Who said you can't get what you want. You just have to want it enough :D
and of course the one thing I really wanted was...
