Burna Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Routes for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are now all done and in the hands of Branners for review. Sunday lunch stop on the way back a couple of us will be leaving lunch early to drive up to Adinkerke on the France/Belgium border to buy cheap tobacco, cigarettes, and cigars. If anyone is interested in joining us then let me know. The rest of the group will be going direct to the tunnel by the quickest route after lunch.

Burna Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Can any of you with the latest TomTom's do me a favour please. Go to the main menu, click on 'Services', and tell me if you have a 'MyDrive' services icon there please. Hopefully working on getting the routes to run on the latest TomTom's.

ianhid Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) I get an option for MyDrive from the TomTom Services menu on my Go 50. ---Edit--- Looking at things, I can import .gpx files into MyDrive and pull them through onto the TomTom, it then shows up in the 'My Routes' section. Just tested with the Evo triangle route. There are converters for .itn to .gpx, so it'll probably work with whatever format you have the route in.

You understand what I've been messing around with today Do me a favour and try this test route for me and show me what route you see on the TomTom please. Edit: Changed the GPX file to one without multiple destinations. If you could try this one and send me a photo of what route you see that would be great 20160417090348-74198-data.gpx Edited April 17, 2016 by Burna (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianhid Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Quick testing, the Go 50 loads the route in about 50 seconds, keeps the route on the device across reboots, can hold multiple routes (only tested with two but see no reason it can't do more) and costs about £100. It's an old model (2014?) with a resistive touchscreen, which might or might not annoy the pants off you. It cant currently hold a full detailed Western Europe map, but can hold one with only partial building outlines (so you get building outlines in GB and Ireland, or in benelux, or in france, etc). You can add external storage, needs to be about 8GB at current map sizes. The Go 51/61 is newer and has a better CPU and more onboard memory etc but costs more. The routes section was all handled via current TomTom route planning/management software, so I see no reason this wouldn't work exactly the same with newer kit. You might want to avoid the 'Start' series kit though as they can't do traffic status at all, which is annoying for general satnav use. The Start units can load data from the TomTom MyRoutes site (according to documentation), but only via USB cable from a computer. They should be able to load the routes Burna is building, I have no way to test that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) I have My Drive on my Work TomTom, but how do you get the file onto the TomTom It's okay worked it out and working on my TomTom 6000 (if that helps any one), means a big screen satnav and upto date maps, just ordered a memory card for Dragonball map files Edited April 17, 2016 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianhid Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Log into TomTom MyDrive and add the route file to MyDrive on the website: Then connect your TomTom via smartphone bluetooth tether or to your computer via USB and it'll pull the route across onto your device. It might take a couple minutes via smartphone, depends on data rates. You have to be logged in to TomTom services as the same user that you uploaded the file with.

ianhid Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Try numbering them 01, 02 ... 09, 10. That should sort them correctly in the list. Super work though, should make life much easier!
