Save modifications to a route

Go 52: Established a route to a destination and saved it in My Places. Then I added two stops to the route. Everything looks fine in in map view. But when I close TomTom and open it again and select the route from My Places the modifications are gone. How can I save a modified route so that when I close TomTom and then reopen it the modifications are still there.
Thanks,
Les

@thetaom Try Option (1) or (2)
On the device
(1)... Cancel Syncing in the MyDrive Menu... (Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> MyDrive... Stop syncing)
OR
(2)... Turn off/Forget Wi-fi... (See below)
Both of the methods work.....
__________________________
If you are using the MyDrive Web Route planner and Send Destination or Send Stops
On the NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices You have problem... If Wi-Fi is enabled the 'Send Destination' or 'Send Stops' to sync a .ITN route
In the syncing process it converts the .ITN Route to a .GPX Track
According to Tomtom the reason for this is, the High Speed of the sync over Wi-Fi ???
The Fix... Forget the Wi-fi on the device....
You can't actually turnoff the Wi-Fi but you can forget it, the device will still be monitoring for a Wi-Fi service but not Connecting & Syncing....
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Wi-Fi... Tap on your Wi-Fi's Name (Screen top left)
Tap Modify --> Forget
Follow on-screen instructions to finish
If you want to update your device log back into the Wi-fi

Your suggestions worked concerning turning off WiFi--but there are still problems.
Here is what I did:
1. Menu → Settings → My Drive → Stop Syncing
2. Menu → Drive To → Address → Number Keyboard
82007, Cheyenne WY
Fox farm, W Fox Farm Rd
201 → Done
Drive
3. Menu → Current Route → Add Stop to Route → Search → Address → York, NE, York NE (Center), Add
This route will take me to Cheyenne, WY but instead of following Interstate 70 to Denver it moves me North where I can cross NE on Interstate 80 directly into Cheyenne, WY.
This would work fine if I was only going to Cheyenne, however this is only the first day of the trip. The second day is from Cheyenne to Boise, Idaho, and the 3rd day is from Boise, Idaho to Port Angeles, WA. If I try to consolidate and enter one trip from Topeka, KS to Port Angeles, WA, then I loose the time and distance information for each leg. What is the best way to enter this 3-day trip and keep all possible information. Legs 2 and 3 have modifications ("Add Stop to Route") just as Leg 1 has.

Hi Les
Using a .ITN Route the device will calculate the route between Stops (According to the Route type selected in the settings menu)
If you want to force a different route you simply add more stops
Note...When you add the extra Stops Zoom right into the road
Don't put the stop on the wrong side of a dual track road (Journey loop back errors)
Don't put the stop up a side-road... It may guide you though a built-up area via side streets back to your route, instead of a u-turn
Don't put the stop on on a traffic Island always place a guidance stop further up road on the route after the traffic island exit

Thanks again--good information.
I've settled on a procedure: put each days route into TomTom prior to starting that phase of the trip. Is there a way to delete all routes I have entered into TomTom memory?

On the Satnav device
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> MyRoutes
Screen bottom right Tap 'Edit list'... Select the Routes/Tracks you wish to delete... Tap 'Delete'
On the MyDrive web Route planner
Click on the Microscopic Trash-can...That appears to the right of file name as you hover the mouse pointer over the file name
