Use a tool such as Tyre Pro to view your track file.
Export to a memory card or directly to your computer, then use your computer to view the file
using software such as Google Earth.
Note: While viewing your recording, you may notice that the recorded GPS locations do not
always correspond with the roads. This can happen for several reasons. Firstly, your device
tries to keep the files small and this can cause a slight loss of data precision. Secondly, your
device records the actual data from the GPS chip for an accurate representation of where
you’ve been, rather than what you see on your screen. Thirdly, the software with which you
view the recording may have the maps misaligned.
Share the file with friends by exporting it.
Note: Tracks can be imported and exported.
ITN files (TomTom's own Itinerary file format)
An ITN file contains less detail than a GPX file. An ITN file can contain a maximum of 255 locations
which is enough to recreate a route accurately. ITN files become routes after import.
Using ITN files
There are several things you can do with your ITN file:
You can import an ITN file onto your TomTom START so you can travel that same route again
and get navigation instructions.
Use tools such as Tyre Pro to view your route.
Note: Routes can be imported but cannot exported.
