Using GPX files
You use MyDrive on your computer to import .GPX track files to your TomTom device. The tracks are
saved in the My Routes menu. Your device will navigate along the GPX track exactly and will not
offer to replan your route, even if a faster route is available.
Importing a track GPX file
Note: Your Rider needs at least 400 MB free space before it can import .OV2 and .GPX files. If you
see the message You need more space, make space available by deleting unwanted .OV2 or .GPX
files using MyDrive, or deleting device content, for example delete a map you don't use.
To import a .GPX file using MyDrive, do the following:
1. Connect your Rider to your computer using MyDrive Connect.
2. In MyDrive, select My Routes.
3. Select Import a GPX File and browse to your .GPX track file.
Tip: The name of the track file in My Routes will be the same as the name of the .GPX file.
Edit the name of the file so that you can easily recognise it in My Routes.
Your new track is shown in the My Routes list.
4. Select the route and then make sure that Sync this route as a track with my devices is
enabled.
5. Wait for the track file to upload to your Rider.
6. Open My Routes.
Your imported track is shown in your My Routes list.
Deleting a track GPX file
You can only delete an uploaded track GPX file when your Rider is connected to your computer
using MyDrive Connect.
To delete a POI list, do the following:
1. Connect your Rider to your computer using MyDrive Connect.
2. In MyDrive, select My Routes.
3. Select the track file you want to delete, then select Delete.
The track is removed from your My Routes list.
Saving and restoring your personal navigation information
When you are logged in to MyDrive on your Rider, your personal navigation information is
continuously and automatically saved to your TomTom account.
If you reset your Rider, or log in to MyDrive on a different device, your saved personal navigation
information is restored to your Rider or the different device.
The following personal navigation information is saved to your TomTom account:
MyDrive destinations.
All saved locations in My Places.
All imported POI place lists.
All imported tracks.
Tip: MyDrive also syncs your locations in My Places with your TomTom account. You can see your
My Places locations and the POI place lists you have imported in MyDrive on a web browser or on
the MyDrive app.
