Favourite symbols

Your TomTom device uses a star by default to show the location of favourites in the Map Browser.

One of the ways you can personalise the Map Browser and your device menus is by changing this favourite symbol. You can have different symbols for each of your existing favourites. You can change this symbol using HOME or you can create your own here: create.tomtom.com.

Tip: Your new symbol replaces your old symbol which is backed up automatically on your computer.

Note: This feature may not be supported on your device. Make sure you are using the latest version of the TomTom application.

Adding a favourite symbol

Ensure that your device is connected to your computer and then do the following:

1.Click Add Traffic, Voices, and other services in the main menu in HOME.
2.Click Images and symbols.
3.Click Favourite symbols.

You can then choose from favourite symbols available in the online shop and on your computer.

Tip: You can search for items (by name or description) using the Search box at the top of the page. To return to a complete list,  delete the text in the search field and click Search. Make sure you have selected All in the View list.

Click More info to get a description of the favourite symbol you are interested in.

4.Click Add to download and install a free favourite symbol or a shared favourite symbol to your device.

Note: Once downloaded, you can rename the symbol to, for example, altfav_hotel.bmp for an existing favourite called "hotel" or altfav_campsite.bmp for an existing favourite called "campsite". You can do this renaming in the skins folder on your device using file explorer.  The filename for a favourite must match the name of the favourite on your device or the symbol will not be visible!
