Tomtom: Fastactivate

is the modern successor to FastActivate. It has a graphical interface, auto-downloads maps from the internet, and patches in one click. If you find FastActivate's command line intimidating, search for "TTActivator" on GPS forums. The Future: Will FastActivate Work on New TomToms? TomTom has largely moved to Android-based systems (TomTom GO Navigation app on phones, and new PNDs like GO Superior). FastActivate does NOT work on Android.
