I have previously used the tyre program to manage points of interest on my tomtom,as excellently described by YFM in great detail elsewhere on this forum.However the recent announcement by Tyre for travel that they are no longer supporting google maps,I wonder whether this will still be possible?

It looks like they have a fix in process....
But if its not sorted by the 11th of June deadline, substitute the program ITN Converter
Use the 'Export file format' option > Tomtom POI (.Ov2) file type
I like the Free, slightly quirky, but very good ITN Converter
ITN Converter has a huge number of Map types including the Tomtom Routes Map, the ITN Converter also Saves/Exports a huge number of route file types, it will also export straight to the Tomtoms MyDrive Route planner...
The ITN Converter is quirky because it uses It uses two Windows, one with all the save/export options the other, being the "Editor Window" where you plan your routes
Get ITN Converter here...

I think the ITN Converters ViaMichelin and the Nokia OVI Maps appear to be a good match to Tomtom Maps
There is a Tomtom Map but the zoom level is a little restricted
Edit... The Zoom levels on the Tomtom Maps have improved quite a lot since the last time I used ITN Converter

As as the name suggests there us a phone app linked to this too ( though I have not used the phone app)
I've tried to get this to work with my iPhone 6S and I cannot work out how to transfer the saved file over bluetooth to the Rider.
Using a bluetooth analyzer I can see that the Rider has the following bluetooth services:
Hands Free (telephone calls)
Headset (Navigation instructions
PAN-U Service (Traffic)
OBEX Object Push (the file transfer I need, I assume).

On the Rider side:

Yes, I thought as much.
Thanks
You don’t need Tyre anymore.
You also can use MRA there is a 40% discount for Tyre users. Or after the 14 day trail you can continue with the free basic version. See https://myrouteapp.com/en/go/tyre
