The TomTom (like all small devices) is not ideal for doing complex things so I started wondering if there was an easy way to do route planning on the desktop and simply send the data to the GPS...
As the "TYRE" website says "Google Maps is a nice application. You can view any place on earth you like. A TomTom is a very nice device. You can go any place on earth you like. But why don't these tools work together?".
I thought it was going to be hard but I installed "TYRE" and told it I was using Google Earth. You can then simply use Google Earth to add placemarks ("pins") at all your stops.
As long as you have "TYRE" in "active" mode whenever you right click on a pin and select the "copy" (to clipboard) option "TYRE" will detect this and update its list of waypoints. It is a simple matter to alter their order.
You can save the data as a TomTom itinerary file, csv, POI and some other GPS formats. The data can also be sent to TomTom home, USB sticks etc.
I've only justy started using this application but its looking very good.
