Been a while since I last hacked a TomTom One 130. Something like a year ago. I've forgotten most of the procedure already, and I'm sure a lot of things have changed since then, so I spent a couple of days perusing the forums.Basically, there are two ways to hack your favourite GPS. If you want the safe route, simply install the latest TomTom Home on your PC, and let it upgrade your unit with the latest official navcore and fixes. This guarantees a proper working TomTom. You'll still need to patch the navcore (ttsystem) in order to install maps downloaded from the Internet. Copy the maps to the unit, then use yDGpatch to patch ttsystem and generate keys for the maps.
Or if you're the adventurous kind, you can wipe out your TomTom's memory (whether internal or SD), then install a compatible SE navcore. (With an SE navcore, no patching is required for the maps.) If you're lucky, your 130 will now have additional functionality that it's not supposed to have - e.g. ALG (Advanced Lane Guidance), IQ routes, picture slideshow, new settings, etc. Again, downloaded maps will still need to be cracked using a keygen to work. SE navcores also support different emulation modes through the use of switchfiles.For the uninitiated:
- SE navcores are hacked versions of the official navcores by TTuser.
- You might find some ME navcores floating around, and these are made by DarkMireille.
- You can find the latest version of the TomTom Home application here.
- Not all navcore versions will work on your unit. Search for the latest compatibility matrix.
- Map version needs to match the navcore version. Again, check the matrix.
- Speedcam and POIs files are just like maps. They need to be cracked before use. Put these inside the map directory.
- You'll need proper meta.txt entries for your maps (and speedcams and POIs) for the keygen to work.
- Backup your GPS unit before fooling around with it.
- SE navcores do not come with voices, so you need to copy the voices folder back to the unit after everything's done.
- Through the use of switchfiles, you can modify the look and feel of your PND. Certain features can also be turned on or off.
