Just done this (http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81274) to my factory sat nav. The little location icon is now an electric blue mini , that turns direction as you move. It looks a lot better in the flesh. If anyone else wants to do it follow the info in the thread, or if they are stuggling I can do a copy of the disk for anyone that wants it, and if they are local to aberdeen I will download it to the car as well.

Dont suppose you could infiltrate the tom tom and do the same thing. That's really cute (my kind of mod!).

I bet someone, somewhere in a MINI design room is getting slapped about by his boss for not thinking of that themselves! :D

Sheilz, I will look into it - to be honest the tom tom would probably be even easier as there are a lot of tools out there for editing the interface. Ill get back to you - bonus is your car is the same colour as mine, so half the job is done [;0]
