Importing route from SD Card

Not very critical, but you only have the possibility to import a route from your SD card after a full restart of your system or after removing / putting back the hardly reachable SD card.
It would be very nice if there would be an "Import" option from the menu!

Welcome to the site....
The NAV4/NAV5 (Wi-Fi) Rider 4xx & 5xx also have the "Easy route upload" option....
My Rider 550
The Rider 4xx/5xx will give you direct access to a small buffer/transfer area of the Rider 4xx/5xx Main Memory... You can also access your Micro SD Card, you can drag & drop your .ITN or .GPX route files directly to the Rider 4/5xx Memory buffer/transfer area or the Micro SD Memory card over a secure system
NavCore Version 15.302
Released on 3 July 2015
This update applies to the Rider4xx/5xx
With the "Easy route upload"... You can connect your TomTom Rider to your PC using a USB cable, then drag and drop your route files directly to and from your device’s memory using a file explorer program.....
The example below is my Rider 400... The Rider 550 uses the same "Easy route upload"
(1)... Connect Your device via USB and this screen appears on the Rider 400
(2)... Tap the Import route Icon and the Rider 400 connects to the secure "Easy route upload"
(3)... On your PC filing system you should see "Tomtom Rider 400" where you can drag and drop your route files directly into the Rider 400 main memory or the Micro SD Card
(4)... If you haven't got a Memory card installed it only shows the Rider 400 Main memory
(5)... Drag & drop your route files to the device or the Memory card
(6)... When your done tap "Done"
Note...Mac OS X....
TomTom Rider uses the USB Media Transfer Profile (MTP) for transferring routes. On a Mac you need to install a program that supports USB MTP, such as Android™ File Transfer.
Once the program is installed, connect your Rider 4xx/5xx to your Mac and select Import routes. This switches the device to MTP mode. Route files such as GPX and ITN can then be copied to the internal memory of your device or a memory card using the MTP program.

You can also use a Micro SD Card as a transfer medium
To transfer a route to your NAV4/5 device using a Micro SD Memory Card.....
Format your memory card on your PC to FAT32 format
Copy your .GPX or .ITN route file to your Memory Card
My GO 5000 showing no routes installed.....
Insert the SD Memory card into the Card Slot the device will recognise the Memory Card.....
Routes Transferred.....

Point is that when I'm not at home and when I save a number of routes on the SD, the only way to get access to the SD from my TT is to restart the TT or remove / re-insert the SD. Garmin ZUMO has an option "Import user data" which allows you to import data from the SD. Much easier!

@Han_Wijnands I don't have to restart my Rider 550 before the device recognises the FAT32 Formated Micro SDHC Memory Card
Just swap-around the Map & Routes Micro SDHC Cards and the device displays the 'Routes Tranfser Menu' option....

And I have another problem. After I re insert SD card it's asks me if I want to import the routes and I click yes and import the routes. But the problem is that I don't find them in "my routes"! It's always empty!
