Importing a track GPX file

GPX files (GPS exchange format)
GPX files contain a very detailed recording of a route, including any off-road locations. A GPX file
might contain, for example, a tourist route or a preferred fixed route. You can find collections of
.GPX files on the Internet and upload them to
become tracks after import.
Tracks have a beginning and an end but no stops, and there's a fixed map-dependent route between
these points. Your device follows this fixed route as closely as possible. You can edit tracks using
tools such as Tyre Pro.
Using GPX files
You use MyDrive on your computer to import .GPX track files to your TomTom device. The tracks are
saved in the My Routes menu. Your device will navigate along the GPX track exactly and will not
offer to replan your route, even if a faster route is available.
Importing a track GPX file
Note: Your GO needs at least 400 MB free space before it can import .OV2 and .GPX files. If you
see the message You need more space, make space available by deleting unwanted .OV2 or .GPX
files using MyDrive, or delete device content using MyDrive Connect.
To import a .GPX file using MyDrive, do the following:
1. Connect your GO to your computer using MyDrive Connect.
2. In MyDrive, select My Routes.
3. Select Import a GPX File and browse to your .GPX track file.
Tip: The name of the track file in My Routes will be the same as the name of the .GPX file.
Edit the name of the file so that you can easily recognise it in My Routes.
Your new track is shown in the My Routes list.
4. Wait for the track file to upload to your GO.
5. Open My Routes.
Your imported track is shown in your My Routes list.
