Community ManagerThe previous GO Mobile app for iOS never had the option to sync routes with MyDrive. However, since we had to rebuild the sync for the new NDS based maps anyway, we will now also make this available for iOS. But this is not something that can be done over night so this will be later this year.7

The ability to sync POI and Route files has never to my knowledge been available in the IOS Apps. Whilst it has been with the Android Apps so I assume it is an Apple restriction as why one not the other.
Interestingly the IOS App works in CarPlay but the Android App does not work in Android Auto. I think you may find the only Nav Apps Google let work with Android Auto is Google and Waze.

Of course what would be best is all of the functionality of MyDrive actually in Go, but being able to sync MyRoutes will still be top anyway.
At one stage I specifcally kept a second Android phone just for TomTom navigation but this was too much hassle.
More and more google is overtaking TomTom in route planning and used more and more as my go to navugation tool.
TomTom are killing themselves with their inflexibility. I understand that they want to lock people in to devices but I'm afraid the writing is on the wall. I personally refuse to buy a device but have been a tomtom app purchasor and then subscriber for many years. But the time is fast approaching when i won't bother.
