Route planning / maximizing screen real estate

Posts: 5 [Apprentice Seeker]
Hello;
1) Is it possible to display only a subset of favorites on the route planer?
I have a collection of Favorite places that I have collected over the years. Now I would like to plan a trip but having all my favorites on the screen is making the screen very cluttered and busy making it difficult to plan.
2) Is there anyway to disable the very large white TomTom banner in the top of the route planning screen?
See attached picture for clarity

Welcome to the site...
F11 on the PC Keyboard will give you more screen Real estate....
_______________________________
Many users have asked for the facility to back-up their MyPlaces to a PC
The Tomtom MyDrive Web Route planner....
i.e... the Tomtom Cloud
Here... https://mydrive.tomtom.com
The MyDrive Route planner allows you to download your data from the Tomtom Cloud
The file looks like unusable Gobbledegook, but the MyPlaces can be found in the file

Posted a link to a excellent Tomtom MyPlaces to .Ov2 POI file converter tool
https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://chbworld.net/software/tomtompoi.html&prev=search
There's a Mac & PC version ....
Download and install TomtomPOI.exe from the above link
Note... I have Virus checked the file with Avast Anti Virus all OK
Run TomtomPOI
1st Click on Open...
A New Filer Window opens
Find & Select the (Your username goes here)_MyDrive.json.gz file
Saved from the Tomtom MyDrive Web Route planner
Click on the 'Open' Box
2nd Click on Copy
3rd Click on Yes
4th Click on Yes
5th Click on Save
b]Name the .Ov2 file & Save to the PC Desktop[/b]
I saved my .Ov2 file to the Desktop as "_Favorites (
Note "_Favorites.ov2" The Underscore before the "_F" is not displayed on the Tomtom screen, but it forces the POI category to the top of the list....
You can now delete the MyPlaces that aren't required (Saves the MyPlaces blue star screen clutter) and use your New Favorites POI Category instead
