TomTom Go Pro 6250 plan a route with 4 stops and doesnt go to 1st stop first

Hi
When using the MyDriveWeb (v2) Route planner.....
Plan your route... Start --> Destination Then --> Add Stop --> Add Stop --> Add as many Stops as required

If you are using the "Send to Device" option in the MDWeb Route planner there's a bug
You may be losing your Start Point when the route gets transferred to your Go Professional 6250
See 1st tip below

[h2]During an "A" to "B" route transfer.....
The device drops Location "A"[/h2]
This bug applies to all NAV4/(5 Wifi) devices
After you have created your "A" to "B" route using the MyDrive Web (2) Route planner
When you sync the route to your device using the "Send to Device" menu option
I think the device removes your planned "A" location and moves it to your present location, but it doesn't replace your original "A" location with a stop, and so the route misses the original "A" location

Note... This bug applies to routes where "A" is not your present location

For example Route from "A" Birkenhead to "B" Manchester.....

The device receives the route -> Calculates the route from my present location (Worcestershire)... Then completely ignores "A" Birkenhead

Screen GO 520
Workaround... When planning your route if you place a sacrificial stop right next to the planned Start of your "A" to "B" Route

Then when you sync the route to your device using the "Send to Device" menu option, the device still moves your planned start to your present location... But the sacrificial stop holds the correct route... From your Present location to original "A" then "B"
In the above example... Worcestershire --> Birkenhead --> Manchester

Screen GO 520

The same bug existed within the MYDdrive Web (2) Route planner, the route planner also dropped point A
But that bug appears to have been fixed?

[h2]Transfer .GPX routes with "Multiple Stops"[/h2]

To transfer .GPX routes with "Multiple Stops" created using Tyre to Travel or the previous MyDrive Web (v1) Route planner (May work for .GPX routes from other route planners)

Had a dig around in the MyDrive Web (v2) Route planner
The following allows me to Edit/Save/and Transfer any .GPX routes created using Tyre to Travel or the previous MyDrive Web (v1) Route planner

Re... Old .GPX Routes in stored in MyRoutes
Re... Old .GPX Routes created using Tyre... Follow the red text for the old tyre .GPX files
If you have routes created using the previous MyDrive (Web) Route planner

The MyDrive Web (2) Route planner won't allow editing of these routes
If you Select the route... The route loads but there is no Edit Icon available

But if you save the .GPX file to your desktop (See above Image)
Then re-import the file into the MyDrive (Web) Route planner
Import the .GPX file that you created using Tyre to Travel into the MyDrive (Web) Route planner

MD Route planner now creates 2 files one you can edit (Finish Route) the other not

Delete the file you can't edit


Select the route that is left, Click "Finish Route"
The Route Planner will re-calculate the route
The planning menu will open with the "Send to the device" and the "Save" options Available


Click "Save" to save the route
When you next load the route, you are offered the "Edit Icon" to edit the route

The "Send to the device" works fine, the route syncs OK with the device
"Send to the device" works fine, the .GPX Route that you created using Tyre (along with any Stops), syncs OK with the device

I've also found..... Convert .GPX to .ITN
When you have sent a route to the device using "Send to the device"
After the device calculates the route you can.....

Tap somewhere on the displayed route
A quick Menu should open Tap the 3Dot Icon
Tap Manage Route
Tap Add to my Routes
Accept or Rename the route
Tap Add
The route is added to "MyRoutes" as a .ITN file (Solid Arrow) displayed in the MyRoutes list of routes

Hi
Oh yes, it does.....
Tap (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Appearance --> Route bar --> Arrival information... Show arrival information.....
Choose Final destination or Next Stop

Already set like that but just shows full route

Hi
But the displayed Time/Distance (At the top of RouteBar) will be from Stop 2 Stop

I always use the display option 'Switch between Distance & Time Automatically'
Tap (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Appearance --> Route bar --> Arrival information... Switch between Distance & Time Automatically

Hi
Working OK here...
Planned an approx 2 Mile route with a stop in the middle
Switching between the two options, the route Time/Distance (At the top of RouteBar) halved or doubled as the settings were changed
Running a route demo the Time/Distance counted down to the 'Stop', reset to the remaining distance then counted down to the Destination

Hi
Your Route... 'A' Start --> 1 Stop --> 2 Stop --> 3 Stop --> 4 Stop --> 5 Stop & End Point
Is 'A' your present location or do you need to drive to 'A'.....

ATB YFM

Hi
I didn't make myself clear.....
Say right now you're sat at home using your Computer... Is 'A' your Home or would you have to get to drive to 'A'

Looks like tomtom put routes and tracks on the device that doesn't work. Removed poi from older Tomtoms that did worked

That's not correct.....
The MDW (v2) Does work, the Routes do transfer to the devices and the routes are drivable...

Here's a 20 stop route I created using the MyDriveWeb (v2) Route planner


Here's the 20 stop route on my GO 520 Wifi
