  1. Pick your smartphone from the pocket
  2. Open the camera app
  3. Focus & take the shot...
  
  You may mark a location if that’s what you want...

  I'm sorry, I guess I should have been more specific when I wrote my question. So let me try again:
  
  What is the procedure for capturing an image directly from the screen of a Rider 550, then transferring that captured image from the Rider to a computer so that it can be edited or saved?
  
  An example of the type of screen capture that I want to get can be seen on any of @YamFazMan 's or @Lochfrass 's posts, for example, here:
  
  
  
  In the above example, it is obvious that the image has been directly captured from the display of the device - it's not a photograph taken of the screen of the device.

  Hi @ST1300_PanEuropean
  I use mostly a screenshot from the Go Mobile App.
  The Layout is mostly identic with the Nav 4 or Wifi devices.
  Often a pic can say more than 1000 words.
  
  
  
  
  On the second pic you can see the stausbar from the Smartphone on the top.

  @Lochfrass
  
  Thanks very much for the quick reply.
  
  So you are not actually capturing the screen display from a TomTom navigation device (e.g. a Rider 550), you are capturing the screen display from your smartphone when it is running a TomTom app, is that correct?
  
  Do you know if it is possible to directly capture and export a screen image from a TomTom navigation device?
  
  Michael

  Yes thats correct.
  Therefore I use the smartphone and an app to fake my location. So I can recreate many situations.... Some other Pic like the Poi icons, i have from the Manual

  And No it's not possible to make a screenshot from a device.
