My Routes
About My Routes
My Routes provides an easy way to save and retrieve routes and tracks.
You may want to use My Routes in one or more of the following situations:
ď‚§
While working - Your job involves driving several routes with multiple stops on a daily basis.
Your r
outes can change and you need to be flexible and be able to change the order of your
stops or ch
ange the planned route.
ď‚§
While on holiday - You are going on holiday and want to plan and save a route. Your route
includes sce
nic roads, stops at various hotels, and other places like tourist attractions.
ď‚§
While touring - You want to follow a tour you have downloaded from the Internet, or drive a
route a
nother user has shared with you.
ď‚§
While commuting to work - You want to add one or two regular stops between home and work.
Your r
oute back home in the evening is the reverse of your route to work in the morning.
Routes can be created and saved on your TomTom GO CLASSIC or in TomTom MyDrive. You can
also
edit routes using TomTom MyDrive.
About routes and tracks
The term "route" includes two types of route from one place to another:
ď‚§
Routes have a starting point and a destination, and perhaps some stops. Your device calculates
your pref
erred type of route between all these points, for example, the fastest or most eco-
nomical, and uses Traffic. You can edit a route by, for example, adding stops or moving the
starting p
oint. Routes can be imported but cannot be exported from your device.
ď‚§
Tracks also have a starting point and a destination, but have no stops. Your route follows the
track as
closely as possible, ignoring your preferred type of route and traffic conditions, and any
traffic on the r
oute. You can edit tracks using TomTom MyDrive. Tracks can be imported and
exported f
rom your device.
Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different
memory card formatting is used.
About GPX and ITN files
G
PX files (GPS exchange format)
GPX files contain a very detailed recording of where you have been on your track, including any
off-road locations. GPX files become tracks after import.
Tip: Tracks have a dotted arrow!
