About GPX and ITN files
GPX files (GPS exchange format)
GPX files contain a very detailed recording of where you have been on your track, including any
off-road locations. GPX files become tracks after import.
Using GPX files
There are several things you can do with your GPX file:
 Use TomTom MyDrive 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 the Google Earth mapping service.
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. First, your device tries
to keep the files small and this can cause a slight loss of data precision. Second, 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 others by exporting it.
Note: Tracks can be imported and exported.
