You would have the ultimate navigation kit. I called it Tyre. Tyre existed with this first question. While shaping the solution I came up with the following requirements I needed for Tyre.

1. A TomTom device doesn't communicate with Google Maps or Google Earth on its own. So I needed to build an application that would do just that.
2. I wanted the possibility to point out my routes and some points of interest at home with my computer.
3. If you buy a TomTom device, you can use the 'TomTom HOME' software, but the possibilities of this application to plot a route are not really great.
4. I did not want to push my finger onto the touch screen of my TomTom device every time: to add one waypoint to an itinerary, I had to crawl about three or four TomTom screens each time.

What do you have to do to make Google Maps and your TomTom cooperate as a good team? As a matter of fact, it is really simple. I wrote a small application myself. Everyone may download and use it freely. You can use it to create itineraries (route files) and also to create files with points of interest.

You can open and save files in several different formats for TomTom, Garmin and other device types.

Tyre will cooperate automatically with most TomTom and Garmin devices. If you have problems with your own device, click here to find out more.
