Is it possible to create a blank map?

[davcon]

I use my TomTom One for geocaching and the snap-to feature drives me crazy. I wish it was possible to turn that off under prefernces. So, I thought that if I could create a blank map, I could use the navigation feature to get close to the objective then switch to a blank map to get close to the cache. Anybody have thoughts on this?

You need Off-Road Navigator lol.

Yeah, it's a great application and should work for you.

I use Off road navigator and it works ok. I can't use the navigate too function, but don't really need it. I just watch the coords as I move around. It has helped me find caches, but if I could just load a blank map, this whole snap to issue would be moot. There's got to be a way

You could try loading a map like Guam. It will look blank because your not in the mapping area but I don't know if that will work for you.

I don't think you can create a blank map.

Thanks for the response. I think the Guam map thing might work. The only problem is I don't have one. I don't see it available in the map section on tomtom home.

The Guam maps comes with the ONE. You can go to the manage maps option and should see the Guam map there.

Offroad allows you to add maps doesn't it?

Thats true, the map is really just a .bmp file used as a background.

Create a white(blank) picture file (.bmp) and configure it to have a wide range. Although I don't see the point because its just a white background picture so you can just use Off-Road without it.

OK, I got the Guam map to load, but when I try to use it, it says it can't find coordinates for my loaction or something like that. Seems like it would be easy to create a blank map with the correct coords. Wishful thinking I guess. I may play around with creating one for Offroad Navigator

Yeah, I think Off-Road is your best bet.
