Waypoints for a TomTom

[Paul Johnson 5]

Can anyone help with this issue please?

I'm planning the routes for a tour group who are (of course) using different navigation devices.

The person who's using a Tom Tom rider 550 will often be leading and will need to see the critical waypoints (food, coffee stops etc) so he doesn't sail past them. Obviously he doesn't need to see the shaping points.

I've followed the advice about using the correct map for TomToms and exported the route to gpx1.1 and will have him use the track rather than the route as advised. Can it be arranged that the waypoints are displayed?

@Paul-Johnson-5 Yes if you upload the route as an .itn file by using the USB cable. You could also add POIs at your stops and add them the same way as .OV2 files. The waypoints will all appear the same, TomTom does not recognise the difference between a shaping point or a via point, they are all treated as stops.

@Paul-Johnson-5 Personally I would upload as a .gpx and add .OV2 POIs. You won’t see any waypoints but you will see the POIs.

The best option is still to divide your route into parts. Every part is until a planned stop.
It makes the best nav-device independed routes

@M-Schrijver Thanks - an option I hadn't thought of.
