About recording your route
There are several reasons why you may want to record a route. You may be on the riding
holiday of a lifetime and want to share the route with fellow bikers or you may simply wish
to build a collection of your favourite 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.
Advanced users can also download GPX files from the internet and convert them to ITN
files for sharing and riding using the Itinerary feature.
Starting route recording
Important: You need at least 5Mb of free space on your Rider before starting to record a
route.
Quick Menu option!
To start recording your route, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap options.
3. Tap Start recording.
Tip: You can also select Record my GPS location in Quick menu preferences. You can
then tap Start recording in the Quick Menu in the Driving View.
As your TomTom Rider moves along on your bike, it records your position every few sec-
onds. During recording, you can continue to use your Rider as normal. You can safely turn
your device off and on during recording.
