Recommend Me a GPS

[Larry Fine]

I'm happy knowing how to use my GPS the normal way.

Good for you...

Wow. I was just trying to help. Well, at least if you let out all the bad feelings on me, maybe the dog was spared a few kicks.

i) its another online(!) planer...

Uh...yeah. The thread seems to be full of people looking for a solution other than entering it directly in their GPS.

ii) paywall for essential functions, like [save as]...

Didn't notice. I've never paid the paywall...yet I did it. Maybe you missed something?

iii) attempting to upload a Garmin *.gpx file containing 4 individual routes, caused it to build one giant route out of it... so I'd have to store each single(!) route as individual *.gpx file, multiplying my planning efforts enormously...

Why did you enter one file with four routes? Seems like an operator error. You're smarter than the program. Work around it.

iv) the imported route differs largely (it displayed being 60% off, but at least it recognizes), requiring quite some editing...

Didn't have a problem on my end. Operator error?

v) exported it specifically for the TomTom Rider 550 I've around her, which gave me a 0MB *.itn file... pfffff...

Wait...you're uploading a "Garmin" file to use on a TomTom...and blaming me for your misfortunes?

vi) the native plan.tomtom.com is also an online thing...

Beats me. I gave up on TomTom years ago. You're on your own to figure that out.

more effective to throw a *.gpx at the internal memory of the Rider 550... which routing of course differs then...

You weren't promised a perfect solution...just something that seemed to work nicely in one situation. As they say, YMMV.
