How do you add a personal vehicle picture to a tomtom gps?

I am trying to add a picture of my car and download it to my TomTom gps. I have the picture but I'm not sure how to make the background red before i download it to the gps??|||How to create your own car symbol:





The image size should be 80x80 pixels.


The image background should be red (RGB 255,000,000). The red background in the image will be shown as transparent by your TomTom.


The image should be saved as a 24 bit .bmp (bitmap).








TIP: Note that car symbols can appear on dark or light areas on the map, so your car symbol might not stand out on all areas. Therefore it鈥檚 a good idea to add a light line around a dark icon and a dark line around a light icon.











How to upload your own image to your TomTom:





Connect your device to your computer.


In TomTom HOME, click Add maps, traffic, voices, etc.


Click Car Symbol.


Click Continue.





TomTom HOME opens a window showing the available car symbols on your TomTom.


Drop your new image in this window.


Disconnect your TomTom by clicking Device %26gt; Disconnect device from the HOME menu.








How to change the car symbol on your TomTom:





Tap Change preferences in the Main menu.


Tap Change car symbol.


Select your new image.








Note: Car Symbols are only shown in 3D map view. To switch to 3D map view, tap Change Preferences %26gt; Change 2D/3D display %26gt; 3D map
