anyway to reverse route I just rode? on 550 rider
Last trip I took with my tomtom 550 was great one way, but when I reached the destination and chosen go home it took completely different route, longer and via toll roads despite of my avoidance settings.
Any way to reverse last route to go kinda back track?

I'm sure TomTom carry out a survey of users to prioritize developing new functions:
Reverse a route: 24 votes
Read SMS text messages on the Rider: 25.000.000 votes.

I'll bet Tomtom wished they had sold 25 Million NAV4/5 (Wi-Fi) Rider devices

Shame you cant just press a button while out and about!!!!!
Of course it could be that they don't know how to do it.
Just reversing the order of the route point will produce big route faults when a route point is placed in a one way street or at the wrong side of a motorway.
So there has to be a simple way to display and fix problems like this. I think this will be almost impossible on a screen as small as on the Rider.
The algorithm for mapping tracks to the road used in a Rider will be more capable for reversing tracks. But also in this case you can get strange changes.
Sometimes I drive a track in the reverse order with my Rider. To do this just load the track but don’t hit Drive.
Click the arrow above zoom to get the correct display mode.
Now you see the track but you won’t get instructions.
Be careful not to drive in to one way streets.
This method should also work with routes.
lots of routing/planning was removed from that model to the 40/400 and never added or anything.
Like I mentioned Just reversing the order of the route point will produce big route faults when a route point is placed in a one-way street or at the wrong side of a motorway.
To illustrate this a created a route in MyDrive
Via point 1 is a one way-street
Via point 3,4 and 5 are on the correct side of the road.
After reversing
Via point 5 (old 1) is a one-way street now in the wrong direction.
Via point 2,3 and 4 (old 3,4 and 5) are now on the wrong side of the road.
resulting in this nice route
This is not a route you like to ride but is a route is made for a traveling salesman it’s not possible to skip stops at customer locations. The Rider doesn't know why you placed a via-point (Stop)
This is why I think it is important to always review a reversed route. Personally, I think the Rider 550 screen is too small for this task.
