Mate, here's my best attempt for now, but I'm not ecstatic about the colour. It's pretty hard to get the metallic blue to appear well on a car that is only 80 pixels tall and half that width.
 Right click and Save As: http://www.stfocus.net/timmeh/TomTom/arcticnl.bmp I'll keep playing to see if I can get it any better, but it might be as far as my photoshop skills can take me. If something doesn't look right to you, let me know. Timmeh |

Alright I have tweaked the colour a bit to look less grey and more metallic blue.
Enjoy. Tim |

Excellent, glad you like it! It was all done freehand using your car as a colour reference and some other shots from carsales ads to try to get the rear lights shape working properly.
Nice (real) car, by the way. Timmeh |

You can do this on any GPS unit, with the Navman I just went through the settings looked for the file full of icons, had a look trhough them till I found the one that is the car icon. Backed it up to my computer (in case it went pair shaped) then I deleted it off the Navman and saved the picture provided here with the same name and format as the original icon.
And thatnks for the pic  :

Sorry for the threadmine but I only just got a GPS early this week and tried this out.
I took a pic of my car from a balcony and made my own icon...the detail is almost good enough to make out the AFF and NT club stickers on the back window  . The photo isn't great though, partly because I haven't taken the plastic off the touchscreen yet.  Thanks timmeh

Just on these Sat Navs...I bought the Tom Tom One XL....What a fantastic device....The speedo readings are spot on with my cars own speedo and they do know when to change speed limits within a few metres of the road sign...I also love the camera warnings...But can it distinguish between a speed camera and a red light camera and how do you tell?
Not a bad gadget for around $400. My Sydney Street directory can now be used as a boat anchor Only drawback is having to take it down from teh screen every time you get out of your car for fear of a break in....How do others mount theirs?...I was thinking of trying to mount it down low near the glove box so it's out of sight somewhat.
