There are many different brands of TomTom GPS units available on the market, but this post will cover TomTom's latest GPS device, the 7.910.9185 SD card installer. The 8GB card has a pre-installed self-extracting file that can be extracted with ANY version of Windows or Linux. This allows for quick installs of the software via USB stick or SD cards without requiring any special software installation steps to partition and install drivers on your system's hard drive. The following are the installation steps I have used on both Win XP SP2, Vista SP1, and Win7. The first step is to copy your media (USB stick/SD card) to a folder we will call C:\\INSTALLER. After downloading the file above, you need to extract it and copy it (NOT move!) into your C:\\INSTALLER directory. Next, insert your SD card or USB stick into your pc and open Device Manager by typing devmgmt.msc into the run box (windows key+r). Device Manager shows all your installed hardware and if there is a TomTom device in the list you will see a yellow exclamation mark icon. Select this icon and choose "update driver". Accepting the agreement terms will install the TomTom device driver and allow it to appear in your Device Manager. After installing, you should be able to find the GPS in your Device Manager (I renamed my C:\\INSTALLER folder to C:\\GTST). Connecting to your GPS can be done by right-clicking on the icon and selecting "connect", then select your current location from the world map. Once connected, the GPS will attempt to sync your time zone with your PC clock. This can be confirmed by pressing the "about" button on the right side. The "about" button will give you information about your TomTom's software version, device ID, serial number, and build date. There are several options available in the settings menu including the ability to set the volume output (this is useful if using an external speaker/sound device), route planning/mapping service (Google Maps), routes (favorites), and enabling bluetooth for handsfree use. If you plan on using Google Maps or other mapping software you can do so by selecting Map Applications in the Tools menu (pressing ctrl+M). Select the map software you would like to use and press okay. The TomTom uses Google Maps as its default mapping application, but you can select any mapping software such as Bing Maps (which is Windows Live). You can also replace the Google Map data with Open Street maps or other alternative map data by changing settings in the Advanced menu (pressing ctrl+A). The Turn List menu will show a list of your current routes and allow you to re-route and/or change the starting point for your selected route. To see turn-by-turn directions simply press "Route". The map view will show your current route and highlighted directions. You can change routes by opening the Turn List menu and selecting a different route. cfa1e77820
