How to get 'My Routes' on to TomTom Sat-Nav?

[RipGroove]

I've opened 'MyDrive', created a route, saved it to 'My Routes' and plugged my Sat-Nav in..... But it won't sync those routes to the Sat-Nav and there is no 'sync' button anywhere?!

I know my PC and TomTom are connected fine as MyDrive shows my device as CONNECTED and also I was able to transfer routes to it yesterday OK, when I plugged it in it just automatically synced the routes across.

This is my view right now, I have a route saved but cannot get it on to my device?



FYI I did actually find route planning MUCH easier via Google maps which I then converted to GPX files and imported to TomTom MyDrive, BUT MyDrive always altered the routes a little for some stupid reason so in order to get the EXACT route I want I HAVE to use stupid MyDrive.

NVM, did a factory reset on the Sat-Nav and its OK now, syncs automatically again.

The good old re-boot method. Fail-safe.

Annoying that I had to do a factory reset already when I only got the thing on Friday.

I successfully use Tyre (or their new version Myrouteapp) freeware with my Garmin. It's actually supposed to be more compatible with Tomtom. but I can't confirm that.

Great tip! 'MyRouteApp' is freaking awesome!

Glad you like it (usual disclaimers).

Remember to put your waymarks some way after any junction, so the satnav knows in advance which way to turn and can give plenty of warning. I have to admit, that always seems counter-intuitive to me, but then I'm an old Luddite that still prefers paper maps (and is married to the best navigator ever)!

Another good tip, thanks.

I better get a Bluetooth earpiece so I can listen to the SatNav rather than keep looking at it.
