SuperusersHithanks, damn that all sound more complcicated then on garmin...
I was also curious when I press ride after importing gpx track TT ask me: from nearest point or to starting point, why? I want to ride to END POINT
If you didn't want to ride back to the start of the route, you would use 'Ride to route'
i.e.... Ride the 2 miles to the route then follow the remaining 50 miles of the route to the destination

Is it a .GPX Track or a .ITN Route ???

Can I change MyDrive to use ITN route?

Maybe Useful....
If you use the Save & Sync option on the MyDrive Web Route Planner
The Save & Sync option save a .GPX Track... its basicly a bread crumb track that you follow
The Route planned directly on the device is a .ITN Route the .ITN Route uses Stops and the device plans the route between the stops... An .ITN Route will will respond to Live Traffic and any route deviations BUT an .ITN route will doggedly follow the stops in the order they were created, you can modify a .ITN by adding or repositioning Stops
If you miss a stop, the device will continuously attempt to guide you to the missed stop... You have to cancel the problem stop on the device to avoid it
Using a .ITN Route planned on the MDW Route planner...
The latest version of MyDrive Web Route planner now uses 'Send Destination' or 'Send Stops' to send an .ITN Route
The MyDrive Web Route planner only sends the route to the device as a Destination... Or if you add Stops it send it as a Route (But it's is not automatically saved in MyRoutes)
If you are using .ITN route and 'Send Stops' see my workaround below
Complex Muti Stop .ITN Route Rider 400
Be Aware....
If your starting point IS NOT your present location there's a BUG
When using the 'Send Stops' option, during an "A" to "B" route transfer where 'A' IS NOT your present location... The device drops Location "A"
This bug also applies also to Multi-Stop/Waypoint routes... 'A' to 'B' to 'C' to' D' to 'E' etc...
For more info See... https://discussions.tomtom.com/en/discussion/comment/1198253/#Comment_1198253
______________________________________
This is the workaround method I use....
The Tomtom MyDrive Web Route Planner....
Get it Here... https://mydrive.tomtom.com
(1).... Plan my Route with the MyDrive Web Route planner (With or Without Stops as required)
(2)... Zoom in... Place a Sacrificial stop close to the Start Icon
(4)... Choose the 'Send Stops' option... The route will sync to your device
(5)... The device will calculate your route from your 'Present location'
(5.1)... The device will calculate your route using Stops in the order that you placed the Stops in the route
(5.2)... If the planned Start of the Route is your 'Present location'... Then skip Bullet-point... (6)
(6)...When the route has calculated, Pinch zoom to the correct start of your Route (The Sacrificial Stop Icon) 'Long Tap' (Tap and hold for +1 second) on the Sacrificial Stop Icon --> A quick menu opens --> Tap the 3Dot icon --> Choose 'Use as a Starting Point'
The device will calculate your route from your new location
(7)... Saving the Route
'Quick Tap' anywhere on the Route --> A quick menu opens --> Tap the 3Dot icon --> Manage route --> Add to my Routes.... Edit the route name as required or simply Tap Add
_____________________________________
Note... (1) A 'Quick Tap' and 'Long Tap' of the screen gives different menu options
Note... (2) The MyDrive Web Route planner will sync a route with a Max of 20 stops

I was also curious when I press ride after importing gpx track TT ask me: from nearest point or to starting point, why? I want to ride to END POINT

It makes planning route useless without a computer...
