I have recorded and saved a lot of routes on my device, for work, but would now like to change the name of the saved route and also the order in which they appear on my device. How is this done ?? If at all possible. If not, why not ????

Hi @MattM
Sorry I did not pick up your comment that they were recorded routes. Unfortunately they are not synced back to your account.and so the only option would appear to be to insert a micro SD Card, quite a small one will probably do as the file are likely to be very small, in the extra memory slot and export them to that and then change the file name before re importing them via My Drive. This has the advantage of now having them listed in My Routes.
To do this you need a map on the internal memory. If you have not got one then you need to ask for a small map to be added to your account which will fit on the internal memory.5

Hi @MattM
If you go to the list of My Routes in My Drive on your PC or a Phone/Tablet App and Click on a route then Edit Route at the bottom then add a 1 at the end of the existing Route name it will appear as a new route in the My Routes list. You can now delete the originally named one and when you have finished them all you can start your device and it will remove the old ones and add the new ones to your device.

Thank you for that.. That was my first thought. However, when I connect my device to the PC and open My Drive the My Routes option on the left is empty. The recorded routes are on the device but do not appear in My Drive.????? On the device the edit option on the My Routes list only allows a route to be deleted not actually edited. So therefore, cannot find a way of changing the list sequence or the route names...0

I may be misunderstanding the question but you can change the name of a route on MyDrive using the little pencil top right hand corner of route!0

Hi @MyNameAllreadyExists
His problem is that he has used the recording facility on the Tomtom unit and saved the routes to it. Recorded routes do not sync back to your account and so do not appear in the My Routes list when you open My Drive. He cannot change the routes names on the device.

Hi
@MattM
I think the instructions on the screen are lacking in clarity....(Snip) On the device the edit option on the My Routes list only allows a route to be deleted not actually edited. So therefore, cannot find a way of changing the list sequence or the route names...
It should read....
To save one of these routes
Select the route
When the route has calculated...
Tap anywhere on the displayed route
A Quick Menu opens... Tap (Save)
A new Window opens
If required Edit the route name before saving...

Thanks Doug, that does explain my problem but what a long winded way of doing things when you would think that once connected to PC it would all be synced.....1

I have exactly the same issue. I have routes recorded on the device that Id like to re-name but I cannot get the “quick menu” or see how to get it anywhere. When I tap on the route it only gives me the option to start driving to the start of it or the nearest point. Can’t get any other menus to appear. Please can you give a step by step “idiots guide” as I’m not getting it. Sorry🤷♀️0
