1. Download the road via your PC on to your TomTom (4 steps)

Step 1.i. Connect

Switch off your TomTom and connect it to your PC using a USB cable. At present y'all tin can switch on your TomTom device.

Pace i.ii. Open up your TomTom's directory via your PC

When the TomTom device is recognized by your PC, you will run into the screen beneath. Select 'Open binder'. If you don't go this screen automatically, you will have to use Windows Explorer to find the directory 'TomTom x (Chiliad:)' (or any other drive letter instead of Chiliad).

The file is at present on your TomTom!

Go to the main carte du jour and select the NEXT PAGE push (blue triangle) to find the 'Reisplanner'/'Travel planner'.

Stride 2.2. Select the icon 'Reisplanner'/'Travel planner'

Select 'Reisplan'/'Travel plan'. Information technology might exist empty or it might be that a previous program is already loaded. Select 'Options' and 'Load travel plan'.

Step 2.3. Load 'Reisplan'/'Travel program'

If there was already a travel program loaded, then it will have been deselected. In other words, information technology is still there, only non active. Select 'yes' to upload a new travel programme.

Step 2.4. Activate 'Reisplan'/'Travel programme'

Select the requested travel plan.

Step 2.5. Select kickoff

To follow the complete road, yous have to select the start bespeak in the listing. Mark this indicate as 'To visit'. Select 'OK'.

A special case: To follow function of the route, select the bespeak in the listing where yous want to showtime your journey. Mark this point as 'To visit' and select a second indicate in the list to mark the final point of your route, then point 'Visited' and 'OK'. You will now exist asked whether y'all want to exist navigated to your 1st point.

Remark: Detours from the road

The route you lot get on your TomTom might not match 100% with the road y'all see on RouteYou. The route in your TomTom is represented by 48 waypoints. TomTom recalculates the route between these 48 points based on the routing used on the TomTom device and based on the map they have on the device. The 'shortest' route option gives the best results.

Remark: You missed a waypoint

Y'all ever have to visit/pass each and every waypoint in the list, before TomTom sends you to the next waypoint. This is sometimes impossible (because that point is not accessable). The solution is to marker that signal manually as 'visited' (see step 2.5). This is non really a slap-up solution, but that'due south how it works ...

Oftentimes Asked Questions

I want to exist guided to the starting point of the itinerary before I outset. Is that possible?

If you are in the same country as that shown in the itinerary, TomTom volition automatically guide you to the departure point, if the map material of the country in question is uploaded.
If you are not in the same country as that shown in the itinerary, y'all must upload the map of the country in which the itinerary is located, including the European highways. This will allow yous to navigate to the starting bespeak of the itinerary, even when residing in a different country.

I only want to do office of the itinerary.

If you depart from starting point 01, you can stop before the end of the itinerary without any issues. You tin end whenever you feel like information technology.
If you want to offset from another betoken (due east.m. 06), yous tin can select your preferred starting point (see footstep 2.5) afterwards selecting the desired itinerary.
If your itinerary is already uploaded, and yous wish to skip some stops, you can select the last indicate of the itinerary you want to go to and marking it as 'Visited' (run into pace 8).

Although the itinerary is uploaded on my TomTom, I cannot navigate it.

In most cases, this means that the correct card material has not been uploaded. Check whether the map textile, including the European highways, is uploaded for the area in which the itinerary is located.

Can I use the TomTom Passenger, merely also the TomTom ane, TomTom Go 500, TomTom Get 501, TomTom Go 700, TomTom Go 701, TomTom Go 900, TomTom Go 901, etc.?

Yes, you can. The different reference cards on these devices (e.g. older version, Tele Atlas instead of Navteq) may crusade small deviations in the itinerary compared to the TomTom Rider.

My TomTom displays a different itinerary than RouteYou! Why is that?

The itinerary you downloaded does not necessarily consist 100% of paths known on your TomTom. Certainly not when there are many culling minor paths and dorsum roads! The road will be converted to TomTom and will include a maximum of 48 places to be visited. Your TomTom will automatically calculate a 'connection' betwixt those points using the roads that TomTom knows. Therefore, information technology is all-time to select the shortest route selection. This will yield the best results.

I keep on getting sent back to a point that I've already visited. Why is that?

When using TomTom for an itinerary, y'all MUST Always visit a WAYPOINT within 20m of that point. The GPS might be inaccurate or you lot might have passed the waypoint within a distance of more than 20m. In that case, your TomTom will send y'all back to that same waypoint. You have 2 options: y'all tin can either become closer to that point or you tin mark the waypoint every bit 'visited' on the itinerary menu (see step 2.v). Nosotros know that this is not actually user-friendly and we hope TomTom volition adapt this in the future!

My itinerary is called 'itinerary' on my TomTom. Tin can I modify that?

Yous can easily give your ROUTE.ITN file a proper noun (e.g. TRIPFRANCE.ITN). This name volition also exist used on your TomTom. Note: Simply 13 characters are displayed.

My waypoints on my TomTom are just numbers and take no name. Tin I alter that?

The waypoints you find in your TomTom itinerary are not the original waypoints. The TomTom .ITN file allows for a maximum of only 48 waypoints. We determine the 48 all-time waypoints (at most) to construct that itinerary (because it is recalculated on your TomTom). This is done through a generalization technique. Every bit a issue, we but take a number for those points and no meaningful name.

This might prove to be annoying if you want to meet which waypoint y'all are passing on your TomTom.
