Share the file with friends by exporting it to a memory card.
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 Rider so you can travel that same route again and
get navigation instructions.
Use Tyre Pro to view your route.
Note: Routes can be imported but cannot exported.
Importing routes and tracks
About routes and tracks
The term "route" includes two types of path from one place to another:
Routes have a beginning and an end and, optionally, some stops in between. Your device
calculates your preferred type of path between all these points, for example, the fastest or
most economical. You can edit a route by, for example, adding stops or moving the starting
point. Routes can be imported but cannot currently be exported from your device.
Tracks also have a beginning and an end but no stops. Your device however has a fixed
map-dependent path between these points and your device sticks to this fixed path as much as
possible. You can only edit tracks using tools such as Tyre Pro or Garmin Basecamp. Tracks can
be imported and exported from your device.
Tip: Tracks have a dotted arrow!
Importing routes and tracks
You can import two types of files from your friends or from Tyre Pro:
GPX files - these become tracks after import.
ITN files - these become routes after import.
Tip: ITN files are TomTom itinerary files. Friends may share itinerary files with you or you can
download both ITN and GPX files from Tyre Pro.
To import one or more routes and tracks, do the following:
1. Insert a memory card into the card slot on your TomTom Rider.
If routes are found on your memory card, a message confirms this.
2. Select OK.
