Importing routes and tracks

About routes and tracks

The term "route" includes two types of path from one place to another:

• Routes have a beginning and an end and optionally some stops in between. Your device calculates your preferred type of path between all these points, for example, the fastest or most economical. You can edit a route by, for example, adding stops or moving the starting point. Routes can be imported but cannot currently be exported from your device.

  

• Tracks also have a beginning and an end but no stops. Your device however has a fixed map-dependent path between these points and your device sticks to this fixed path as much as possible. You can only edit tracks using tools such as Tyre Pro or Garmin Basecamp. Tracks can be imported and exported from your device.

  

  Tip: Tracks have a dotted arrow!

Importing routes and tracks

You can import two types of files from your friends or from Tyre Pro:

• GPX files - these become tracks after import.
• ITN files - these become routes after import.

  Tip: ITN files are TomTom itinerary files. Friends may share itinerary files with you or you can download both ITN and GPX files from Tyre Pro.

To import one or more routes and tracks, do the following:

1. Insert a memory card into the card slot on your TomTom Rider.

   If routes are found on your memory card, a message confirms this.

2. Select OK.
3. Select one or more routes from the list on your memory card for import.

   Tip: To select or deselect all routes, select the pop-up menu button.

4. Select Import.

   You see the message Importing routes. Your routes are imported onto your device.

5. When you see a message that your routes have been imported successfully, remove your memory card.
6. To view your imported routes and tracks, select My Routes in the Main Menu.
