Tap menu
Tap Search
Find an address as usual and accept it and it appears on the map as black circle with a menu with Drive on right hand end. Tap the 3 vertical dots next to Drive and select the option to use as Start point. Then do the same to find a destination and when you Tap Drive it creates the route between the two points. You can also then using the same process add Stops to the Current Route you have created.
On the device
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Search
Enter the address say Liverpool
The device offers Liverpool... Tap on the offered Liverpool
A quick menu opens with a Black Icon with 3Dots + The Drive Icon
Tap on the 'Black Icon with 3Dots'... Select Use as a starting point
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Search
Enter the 2nd address say Manchester
The device offers Manchester... Tap on the offered Manchester
A quick menu opens with a Black Icon with 3Dots + The Drive Icon
Tap the 'Drive' Icon... The route will calculate
If you want to save the new Route.... Saving the Route
Using the method above plan/calculate your Route...
While the device is still on the 2D North-up planning screen
'Quick Tap' anywhere on the displayed 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
________________________________
A Route planned directly on the device is a .ITN Route, a .ITN Route uses Stops and the device plans the route between the stops... An .ITN Route will 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 select and cancel the problem stop on the device to avoid it....
Note.... On the Start Range of Devices, you have to connect over USB....
If you use the Save & Sync option on the MyDrive Web Route Planner
The Save & Sync option save a .GPX Track... its basicly a bread crumb track that you follow

Using a .ITN Route planned on the MDW Route planner... The latest version of MyDrive Web Route planner now uses 'Send Destination' or 'Send Stops' to send an .ITN Route
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's is not automatically saved in MyRoutes)
If you are using .ITN route and 'Send Stops' see my workaround below
Complex Muti Stop .ITN Route Rider 400
Be Aware....
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 where 'A' IS NOT your present location... The device drops Location "A"
This bug also applies also 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

Your instructions are absolutely lucid & should be used as a model for others.
Internet malware cleaners use "Canns" for affected users to follow simplistically & your instructions match them perfectly..
Thank you very much indeed

Hello YamFazMan,
Thank you for the above, most helpful. I have to admit I am struggling with the 6200
primarily because I have not used a TomTom before.
