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

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.

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.

@MattM I think the instructions on the screen are lacking in clarity....
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)
If required Edit the route name before saving...
