RTxMapEditor - last version - FAQ

[janfi67]

Hi everybody, here’s the last version of RTxMapEditor.

RTxMapEditor allows you to add POI (speed traps or others) to your Navteq maps for RT3 and RT4 with the same features as the original ones (display with an icon or text, information on location, select as destination, call using the embedded GSM…).

RT3 users can generate and burn CD with additional POI and use it exactly as the original map.

RT4 users can update as many times as needed the same map with different POI using a CD or a USB key (if you have a USB cable connected to your RT4). A quick update mode to update POI only is proposed (2mn instead of 20mn).

It can also generate alert database usable by RT4/RT5 with 8.11 or more SW version whthout needing an original map.

With RTxMapEditor RT4 toolbox you can change you bootscreen with only a few mouse clicks. It also helps to use tools like Agenda.dat, RT4set or copy the maps from the hard drive to a USB key.
