Here are some updated instructions on how to change the startup image on your TomTom device…

1. Select the image or photograph you want to have displayed on your TomTom device.

2. Re-size the image to:
• 320 pixels wide x 240 pixels high (TomTom ONE, ONE 3rd edition)
• 480 wide x 272 pixels high (TomTom ONE XL/XL*S, GO 720/920/T)

3. Save the image as a 24-bit Bitmap file named “splash.bmp” (ONE) or “splashw.bmp” (ONE XL/XL*S, GO 720/920/T)

4. Plug Your TomTom device into your computer via the USB cable

5. Open your TomTom “hard drive” within My Computer

6. Locate the original splash file which is called either “splash.bmp” or “splashw.bmp” and rename it “splash1.bmp” (this naming allows you keep the original TomTom splash screen)

7. Copy your image (splash.bmp OR splashw.bmp) from your computer to the same TomTom directory

8. Disconnect and boot up your TomTom device. Your personalized picture should be there to greet you when you turn it on.

Keep playing! For advanced users, there are other images in your device’s root file that can be changed for further personalization.

BE ADVISED: When modding your device, ALWAYS create a backup using TomTom HOME software. (But how do I do that?)
