don't see stops on my route marked in the sidebar - settings is set to show navigation stops . The only things I see are the fuel stations. what do I miss here ?
Did you plan your journey on the phone or in MyDrive Routeplanner.
When you stored it in myDrive and select in "MyRoutes" in your Phone, then it seems to be a track.
It is a track when you select the rout from "MyRoutes" and there is a dotted Arrow in front of the routename.
At Tracks was no stops shown.

A Route planned using MyDrive Connect and saved to the device using the Save & Sync option is converted during the transfer process to a .GPX Track (NO Stops)....
A .GPX Track is basically a breadcrumb track that you follow....

Maybe Useful.... I prefer .ITN Routes ....
Routes planned directly on the device are .ITN Routes, If a planned route has Stops then the Stops will be honoured....
.ITN Routes use Stops and the device plans the route between the stops... An .ITN Route will respond to Live Traffic and any route deviations BUT an .ITN route will doggedly follow the stops in the order they were created, if you miss a stop, the device will continuously attempt to guide you to the missed stop... You have to cancel the problem stop on the device to avoid it
If you want to force a different route you simply add more stops
Note...When you add the extra Stops Max Zoom right into the road
Don't put the stop on the wrong side of a dual track road (Journey loop back errors)
Don't put the stop up a side-road... It may guide you though a built-up area via side streets back to your route, instead of a u-turn
Don't put the stop on a traffic Island always place a guidance stop further up road on the route after the required traffic island exit....

Using the MyDrive Web Route planner....
Using a .ITN Route planned on the MDW Route planner... The latest version of MyDrive Web Route planner....
For .ITN Routes with NO Stops... The Menu Shows 'Send Destination'
For .ITN Routes with Stops........... The Menu Changes to 'Send Stops'
The MyDrive Web Route planner only sends the route to the device as a Destination... Or if you add Stops it send it as a Route (But it is not automatically saved in MyRoutes)
If you are using .ITN route and 'Send Stops' see my workaround below
Complex Twenty Stop .ITN Route... Rider 400
Be Aware .ITN Routes....
If your starting point IS NOT your present location there's a BUG
When using the 'Send Stops' option, during an "A" to "B" route transfer and when 'A' IS NOT your present location...
The device drops Location "A"
This bug also applies to Multi-Stop/Waypoint routes... 'A' to 'B' to 'C' to' D' to 'E' etc...
(1).... Plan my Route with the MyDrive Web Route planner (With or Without Stops as required)
(2)... Zoom in... Place a Sacrificial stop close to the Start Icon
(4)... Choose the 'Send Stops' option... The route will sync to your device
(5)... The device will calculate your route from your 'Present location'
(5.1)... The device will calculate your route using Stops in the order that you placed the Stops in the route
(5.2)... If the planned Start of the Route is your 'Present location'... Then skip Bullet-point... (6)
(6)... When the route has calculated, Pinch zoom to the correct start of your Route (The Sacrificial Stop Icon) 'Long Tap' (Tap and hold for +1 second) on the Sacrificial Stop Icon --> A quick menu opens --> Tap the 3Dot icon --> Choose 'Use as a Starting Point'
The device will calculate your route from your new location
(7)... Saving the Route
'Quick Tap' anywhere on the Route --> A quick menu opens --> Tap the 3Dot icon --> Manage route --> Add to my Routes.... Edit the Route name as required or simply Tap Add
_____________________________________
Note... (1) A 'Quick Tap' and 'Long Tap' of the screen gives different menu options Note... (2) The MyDrive Web Route planner will sync a route with a Max of 20 stops

This is the workaround method I use....
The Tomtom MyDrive Web Route Planner....
Get it Here... https://mydrive.tomtom.com
(1).... Plan my Route with the MyDrive Web Route planner (With or Without Stops as required)

Note... (2) The MyDrive Web Route planner will sync a route with a Max of 20 stops
Stay Safe... ATB YFM
So the only option to is to sync the route as track from MyDrive.
The new NDS version does show you faster alternatives and reroutes you around known roadblocks.
