Step-by-step differences in using a route vs. track
When one track is selected, it gives you the option to ride to start or nearest
and then I assume it will start the route/track guidance.
Is this correct? Is it the same with a route?
Are there any differences you noted?

Tracks have a lot more waypoints that routes so if you miss a turn then you keep getting nagged to make U turn. Routes will eventually recalculate and take you to the nearest point along the route Careful using routes that cross your path sometimes the device can get confused and you end up in a never ending loop.

I used them only when I want to design a route because I need its versatility. I begin with the places I want to visit and then I add some intermediate waypoints to guide the navigator to more specific roads.

When street view is needed I open both maps in parallel at the same ratio and checking the route step by step...

Have a look at the Mapcode Website or the Mapcode App.
When you open it and put the map into Hybrid mode you get a sat view map like Goole Earth. You can search for addresses and UK Postcodes etc or browse the map and find an exact spot. This generates an Address, a Mapcode and Long/Lat for the spot and you can Cut and Paste the Long/Lat or the Mapcode.. The Mapcodes produced do not work in MyDrive or Google Earth but do work in most Tomtom Satnavs and the Tomtom Go App.
If you are in the UK and have the European map and type DH.FX in Search and accept the first result you will be directed to the Middle gate at Buckingham Palace if you are elsewhere in Europe you will have to put GBR in front of the Code.. Mapcodes are accurate enough to pick out a Parking Lot in a Carpark and work worldwide but only on Tomtom..
