Have you imported your phone's phonebook, but are only seeing the numbers, no names???

This is quite common, even on phones which TomTom's own compatibility list say are OK to import contacts.

By all means complain to TomTom, it's the only way things might get fixed: but until then, the only workround is to import the names manually.

The phonebook on the TomTom is a simple text file.
Just open "contacts.txt' (find it in the "contacts" folder) in Notepad and you can edit it manually to whatever you like. Then resave it with the same name in the same place.

The text will look something like this:

You need to put your contact names in-between the first pair of quote marks, so it ends up looking like this:


If you want to experiment, you can try replacing the "DEFAULT" entry with "WORK" or "MOBILE" etc.


Alternatively, over on the PocketGPSWorld site, there is an Excel spreadsheet to help you do it.
You can download it from HERE
(Please note - I've just spotted that the instructions in that spreadsheet say to save it as "contacts.txt" in the root directory, in fact it should be in the "contacts" folder as mentioned above).
