How-to run tomtom from main menu screen (Navi-Go sy885 (ebuyer))

Power Down the Navigo IE: switch of from the side, then take the sd card out and put it into reader then,

EDIT the Shell.ini file to point to mobilenavigator.exe

IE: \sdmmc\tomtom6_final_on_navigo\mobilenavigator\mobilenavigator.exe........or what evever you have...

Put the card back into the Navigo...

Switch on from the side....... the main menu boots up, click on navigation, the tomtom screen splash will come up and your straight in..

this is the easiest way of doing it, rather than playing with the Registry..

hope it helps

any questions just shout..

cheers

Is there a ways to edit the shell.ini file to give a choice screen to select which navigation software to load, tomtom or another like IGO? Rather than going to explorer and clicking it there.

working with the shell file seems to work one or the other, not both..

AFAIK it only works with the reg hack m8...

Yeah I did the reg hack and then undid it, the software is less stable and got more errors of, this program performed an illegal operation needs to close and also I couldn't understand what this means.

Copy some link files from the old locations and edit to suit in notepad.exe on you PC
Put copies in folders called Desktop and Program in the root of your SD card
Make sure at least one shortcut(link) file points to "\Windows\YFLoader.exe"
and another to "\SDMMC\Mobilenavigator\mobilenavigator.exe"
soft reset (button at top), hard reset (switch off)

Am also thinking if we can't choose with shell can we not get it to select one shortcut or the other, that would be fun for it choose which one to guide you. lol

 

[joebloggss]

did the reg hack myself, but changed back, will look more into the shell file and will try and mod it some way that if you click on ie: photos it will come up with another nav system..

I've managed to add name and address to the unit, so when it boots up it shows the owner details, change the shell file to \windows\explorer.exe, save and run navigation, go to start, settings, control panel, double click on user info, change it to whatever you want, then on the right hand side tick the check box, to display this on startup, I've not tried the password, and would not recommend trying as you might not get the keyboard to type it in. As always do it at your own risk.

 

[joebloggss]

done what you say m8, until "user info" aint there lol

Yeah m8 try to double clicking on owner, the icon looks like windows user account, was going from mind when I typed that.

Edit Shell file to \windows\explorer.exe then edit reg like this

Instead of having to find a spare SD card, or editing the original card, you download Remote registry editor and change one setting under HKLM\init\launch50 from yfloader.exe to explorer.exe

Then you can change the paths to folders desktop & programs under HKLM\System\Explorer\Shell Folders by adding \SDMMC thus:

\SDMMC\desktop \SDMMC\programs ...these folders will be created for you when you re-boot, and you can add some useful programs, and copy shortcuts to anything you like, including applications on your SD card, by browsing to them and selecting file > send to > desktop as shortcut.

got this up and running can switch between Tomtom and Miomap, also can play mp3's as well as films from the desktop..:banana:

need anything just shout...

have you tried my post above yet m8, got tt6 mm3 and igo8 working via the shortcuts from desktop.

I prefer not to use desktop, or mess to much with the original settings.

So I now use this method and seems to work well, copy the folder YFAP20 from Residentflash2, to sdmmc and blue skins shell.exe edit point the links to whichever sat nav you want to use. now on shell.ini in root of your sdmmc point to to sdmmc\YFAP20\ blue skins\shell.exe. now when you hit the navigation you will see another same screen with your personalized links.
