When you are logged in to TomTom MyDrive, you can find locations in MyDrive and sync them with 
your Rider My Places locations. 
1. In a web browser or using the MyDrive app, log in to your TomTom account. 
2. On the map, select a destination. 
Tip: You can search for a destination or you can move the map and select a destination. You 
can also select a destination from your My Places list.

The location is shown in the Favourites list in the MyDrive My Places menu. 
4. Log in to MyDrive on your Rider. 
Your Rider syncs with your TomTom account and receives the new Favourites location. The 
location is stored in My Places.  
Syncing My Places locations with MyDrive 
When you are logged in to MyDrive on your Rider, the locations you have added to My Places are 
automatically synced with your TomTom account. You can see your My Places locations and the POI 
place lists when you are logged in to MyDrive in a web browser or when using the MyDrive app.  
Importing a community POI list 
You can find collections of community POIs on the Internet and upload them to My Places using 
MyDrive in a web browser. A POI collection might contain, for example, campsites or restaurants for 
the area you are travelling in, and provides an easy way to select a location without the need to 
search for the location each time. 
Your Rider uses .OV2 files for POI collections. 
Note: Your Rider 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 upload an .OV2 file to your Rider, do the following: 
1. In a web browser, log in to your TomTom account. 
2. Select POI Files in the My Places menu. 
3. Select Import POI File and browse to your .OV2 file. 
Tip: The name of the places list in My Places will be the same as the name of the .OV2 file. 
Edit the name of the file so that you can easily recognise it in My Places. 
4. Make sure you are logged in to MyDrive on your Rider. 
Your Rider syncs with your TomTom account and receives the new POI file. 
Note: Some .OV2 files are large and can take a long time to upload. Make sure that you sync 
your Rider before you start driving. 
5. Select My Places in the Main Menu. 
Your new POI list is shown in the Places list.

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 My Routes using MyDrive in a web browser. GPX files 
become tracks after import. 
Tracks have a beginning and an end but no stops, and theres 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 Rider 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 Rider 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 Rider. 
5. Open My Routes. 
Your imported track is shown in your My Routes list.  
Deleting a track GPX file

using MyDrive Connect.

Saving and restoring your personal navigation information 
When you are logged in to MyDrive on your Rider, your personal navigation information is 
continuously and automatically saved to your TomTom account. 
If you reset your Rider, or log in to MyDrive on a different device, your saved personal navigation 
information is restored to your Rider or the different device. 
The following personal navigation information is saved to your TomTom account: 
 MyDrive destinations. 
 All saved locations in My Places. 
 All imported POI place lists. 
 All imported tracks. 
Tip: MyDrive also syncs your locations in My Places with your TomTom account. You can see your 
My Places locations and the POI place lists you have imported in MyDrive on a web browser or on 
the MyDrive app. 
Make sure that there is at least 400 MB of free space on your device before syncing your device with 
MyDrive. If there is not enough space, your MyDrive information will not be synced. You can check 
the amount of available space by going to About in the Help menu on your device. 
Note: Syncing a lot of information to your device may take some time.
