About recording your route
There are several reasons why you may want to record a route. You may be on the riding vacation
of a lifetime and want to share the route with fellow bikers or you may simply wish to build a col-
lection of your favorite routes.
When the recording of a route stops, two files are created. The first file is a GPX file that holds very
detailed information and can be viewed with software such as Google Earth.
The second file is an ITN file that can be shared with other TomTom users and can be used to
drive the route again using the Itinerary feature.
You can also download GPX files from the internet and convert them to ITN files for sharing and
riding using the Itinerary feature.
Tip: You can also use Tyre to create, find and share routes. With one mouse click you can copy
the routes that you make with Tyre to your TomTom Rider. See Installing Tyre.
Starting route recording
Important: You need at least 5MB of free space on your TomTom Rider before starting to record a
route.
Quick Menu option!
To start recording your route, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap options.
3. Tap Start recording.
Tip: You can also select Record my GPS location in Quick menu preferences. You can then tap
Start recording in the Quick Menu in the Driving View.
As you ride, your TomTom Rider records your position every few seconds. During recording, you
can continue to use your TomTom Rider as normal. You can safely turn your device off and on
during recording.
