Changing Tomtom Navigator Startup Splash Screen


Unlike the TomTom devices, creating a splash.bmp for TomTom Navigator on your PocketPC PDA doesn't work.

So here is how you change you TomTom Navigator splash screen.

- Grab a copy of "TomTom Navigator.exe" from your Pocket PC and save it to your computer.

- Make a backup copy of the exe before your start.

- Download ResHacker from http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/

- Start ResHacker and open your "TomTom Navigator.exe"

- Expand the tree view on the left side and browse to Bitmap > 120 > 1033.
(Now you see the splash screen).

- Once saved, manipulate the file keeping the format, aspect ratio and the size (320x240).

- Go back to ResHacker and while the 1033 is selected, go to Action > Replace Bitmap.
