    @Tony-13

    Which TomTom device are you using?

    Two weeks ago I downloaded 13 routes from the Myroute planner to a TomTom rider 400 in less than 2 minutes using a simple USB cable.

    Hence, I am a bit puzzled why you need TomTOm mydrive?

    @Drabslab I find saving to TomTom Mydrive useful as it shows if my planned route is affected by road closures or is going to be delayed due to roadworks.

        You can have a direct connection to your PC via the supplied TomTom USB cable.
        First of all save all of the routes that you want to transfer to your 550 to your PC, save them using the top option GPX 1.1 (Route, track, POI)
        Connect your 550 to your PC with the supplied cable, TomToms can be fussy about the cable that is used.
        When your TomTom fires up, touch the Import routes option on the TomTom screen. This makes your TT visible in Windows Explorer as a separate drive.
        Now find your routes (highlight them all) and drag and drop them into your TomTom.

        There is no need to use TT MyDrive.

          I really did not expect that import over a USB cable to work, thought i had tried before but probably gave up too soon. Yes I had to go and find the original cable, and it had to be plugged in directly to my laptop (not a USB-C multiport)
          It has given me two versions of each file, one suffixed track and the other not, but both identical tracks when i open them

            @Tony-13 If you want a route with visible route points, save the route as an .itn file and upload it to your TT the same way.

              @Nick-Carthew IMHO you can simply use connector app and export function, it works correctly via USB to TT550, I don't have to save routes on the disk first.

                Correct, but the original question for this topic was about loading several routes and saving time, with the connector you can only load one route at a time.

                  @Nick-Carthew I see, anyway saving as GPX is also possible only one by one, so the same time needed, right?

                    No, you can save multiple .gpx files by dragging and dropping them to your TomTom too.

                      @Nick-Carthew Dragging from your local disc, agree, but first you have to save them to the disc from MRA planner one by one. For me it is easier to export them to TT directly one by one but any way is good 🙂

                        this is turning out even more useful
                        Thanks for the tip on.itn files. Thought I would never see a way point on my Tom Tom again.
                        Also that the connector app actually does work! Again I guess I stupidly never tried it using the TT supplied USB cable. My techy knowledge stops at - "its digital, how can a cable make a difference"
