There are several reasons why you may want to record a route. You may be on the riding vacation of a lifetime and want to share the route with fellow bikers or you may simply wish to build a collection of your favorite routes.
When the recording of a route stops, two files are created. The first file is a GPX file that holds very detailed information and can be viewed with software such as Google Earth.
The second file is an ITN file that can be shared with other TomTom users and can be used to drive the route again using the Itinerary feature.
You can also download GPX files from the internet and convert them to ITN files for sharing and riding using the Itinerary feature.
Tip: You can also use Tyre to create, find and share routes. With one mouse click you can copy the routes that you make with Tyre to your TomTom Rider. See Installing Tyre.
