TomTom Screen Capture - Screenshot


Want to know how to make a screenshot of something on your TomTom device? While there isn't an official way, TomTom let us in on a little secret this past summer:

1) Connect your TomTom via USB.

2) Create a folder in the root of the drive called 'screen'.

3) Create a text file, with nothing in the file, and save it with the name 'capture'. Not capture.txt nor capture.doc.... just 'capture'.

4) Place that file in the 'screen' folder.

Now disconnect your TomTom and allow it to reboot. When you want to take a screen shot of something, click near the top left of the screen near the zoom button. If you frequently use the zoom button, you might not want to enable this.

You will hear a "shutter click" and your screenshorts will be put into the 'screen' folder as BMP files.
