Can I import a gpx route to my drive for my Go Essential?

Mikensez

Can I import a GPX file, to follow on my GO Essential via My Drive? There's a post that says you can however there is no option to import.
If I plan a cycle route that I want my other half to follow or meet me on, I cannot simply copy the route from my other device or other planning software to this via GPX it seems.

Any ideas out there?

Hi
@Mikensez

If you use the Save & Sync option on the MyDrive Web Route Planner
Here... https://mydrive.tomtom.com
The Save & Sync option save a .GPX Track... its basicly a bread crumb track that you follow

A Route planned directly on the device is a .ITN Route, a .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, 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
