<![CDATA[TomTom Rider series]]>Am I the only member of this forum that doesn’t have problems with their satnav (cough cough XT 😊 ). I plan a route, send it in the cloud via MyDrive as a .gpx track or upload it as an .itn route to my TomTom Rider 500 and I ride it. No messing around with shaping points or via points, if I want to highlight a stop πŸ›‘ I just add a POI. The TomTom follows my planned route faithfully.

Just thought I’d mention it πŸ˜€

I agree that MRA Next is an option I would be interested in.
However thats a long way off so the XT will be my device of choice at the moment.
When the Next beta's are available I will test them but the XT will stay on the bike as well.

I have my phone mounted on my mirror so that it has a good airflow over it.

I've never had a dedicated GPS device, but have you ever experience any difficult in using TT in very hot weather?

@Steve-Lynch

but i am still very convinced that a complete eco system routeplanner- navigator is the way forward.

Imagine all the settings/preferences/POI information/traffic info (and reaction)/etc... one could pass from the planner to the navigator without being constrained by how foreign nav devices understand GPX.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of MRA Navigation and always use it alongside my TomTom. I'm very much looking forward to the release of Next, but all the time I have a very capable and functioning TomTom, I will use it. My TT 500 will be out of date soon, TT will stop issuing updates for it like they did with my last TT device. One thing is for sure, I won't be buying another TT nor will I cross over to the dark side and purchase a Garmin. Smart phone navigation with MRA is definately the future.

No issues with the XT here Nick.
Plot at least 1 Shaping Point on every road I travel on.

That's kinda my point (no pun intended 😁 ) The TomTom works perfectly with the minimum of route points.

@Nick-Carthew i do it even simpler, I skip using mydrive and never have problems either

MyDrive is very simple if you want to send a .gpx file. I can do it from my phone as long as I have 4g or wi-fi.

No issues with the XT here Nick.
GPX1.1 Shaping Points only apart from the First and Last points.
Plot at least 1 Shaping Point on every road I travel on.
