thanks for all your comments on rider 550, much appreciated.
just one more thing.
here in spain we are at the moment under new strict lockdowns but when i can get out to purchase the rider 550 to connect the device with mydrive do i use the same email and password as with my go 6200 for my car or because its a different device do i have to use a different email and password for the rider.
cheers guys.

Hi @cbrfireblade
Now you can link several devices to the same account. So no need to create a new accoutn.

As long as you don't use both devices at the same time for navigation when they are connected to MyDrive you can use both devices with the same MyDrive Account.
When both devices use the same account and you start a Track from MyRoutes the route to this track will be send to both devices. This wil overwrite the current navigation on the other device.7 -

SuperuserHi @cbrfireblade
Further to Roadriders post the solution is simple if you go into one or both of the units and go to My Drive in Settings you have the option to Stop Syncing. This means that should you create a route in the My Drive website, My Drive App or on the other TT unit on the account it will not be received by the unit you are using.
The TT units remember your MyDrive account details so that whenever there is a need for you to be logged in you just input the password. Being logged out of MyDrive does not affect the normal running of the device

If I understand correctly when using the rider I unsycronise my go6200 and the route from mydrive will only be sent to the rider. When I am using the go 6200 I unsyncronise the rider and the route only goes from mydrive to the go 6200.
Basically I unsyncronise whichever devise I am not using then resyncronise when I am using, so whichever device I am using is syncronised and the other is unsyncronised then the route will only be sent to one device. cheers.
