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:
While working
- Your job involves driving several routes with multiple stops on a daily basis.
Your routes can change and you need to be flexible and be able to change the order of your
stops or change the planned route.
While on holiday
- You are going on holiday and want to plan and save a route. Your route
includes scenic roads, stops at various hotels, and other places like tourist attractions.
While touring
- You want to follow a tour you have downloaded from the Internet, or drive a
route another user has shared with you.
While commuting to work
- You want to add one or two regular stops between home and work.
Your route 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 Navigation App.
About routes and tracks
The term "route" includes two types of route from one place to another:
Routes
have a starting point and a destination, and perhaps some stops. Your device calculates
your preferred 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 point. Routes can be imported but cannot be exported from your device.
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 route. Tracks can be imported and exported from your device.
Tip
: Tracks have a dotted arrow!
Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different
memory card formatting is used.
