Uploading and sharing routes

Installing Tyre

Tyre, a tool for managing routes, has been included with your TomTom RIDER. Tyre enables you
to search, design and edit routes, send them to your device and share them with other riders.
To install Tyre, do the following:
1. Connect your TomTom RIDER to your PC using the supplied USB cable. A drive called
"RIDER" appears in Windows Explorer.
2. In Windows Explorer, double click on the RIDER drive to open it. Look for a file called
"TyreSetup".
3. Double click on the file "TyreSetup" to start the Tyre installer. Follow the instructions to install
Tyre on your PC.
4. Once installed, use Tyre to import, create or edit routes. Use the menu to send the route to
your TomTom RIDER or share it with other riders.

Tyre FAQs

I want to install Tyre using TomTom HOME, but I don't know how to do that.
See Installing Tyre.
After starting up Tyre, I don't see a map. What can I do?
Most likely your computer is infected with malware, that is prohibiting the map to be displayed.
Use the malware scanner from Malwarebytes to clean your computer:

For your information: some people who were thinking that their computers were free from mal-
ware, because they were using a malware scanner themselves already, discovered that the scan-
ner from Malwarebytes detected some other malware, and that removing that malware solved
their problem!
Tyre is very slow or seems to freeze. What is going on?
This behaviour occurs when MS Internet Explorer is not installed on your system or when it is not
up-to-date. Furthermore it may occur when your file contains a lot of waypoints or POIs. It is just
Windows slowing down as memory fills up.
Depending on the number of waypoints or POIs and the speed of your computer, Tyre may seem
to hang. It is not really hanging, but it might take a lot of time for the activity to complete.
We recommend to use a maximum of 100 waypoints or POIs for one file. If there are more, split
the file, using 'Split' or 'Reduce' from the 'File' menu.
Is there a Tyre version for Mac computers?
We have lots of plans to port Tyre to other platforms. But since we are just a small company, it will
take some time to realise them.
