In addition, it saves space on the right side of the list of waypoints, which can be used for new options and new buttons. Moreover, the possibilities to mark waypoints and destinations as 'visited' were perceived as pointless by almost everyone. These were useful for older versions of TomTom devices, but those devices are almost no longer in use. That was now the case with the options (and the buttons) for waypoints and destinations that had been visited. Sometimes it's time to delete obsolete capabilities.

The list of available maps has been updated. Instead, all preferences for the respective route can now be quickly accessed via a click on the cogwheel button.Īnd another result: the option to calculate a part of the route and the option to skip the calculation for a part of the route, have been moved inside the popup menu that appears on the map on selecting a waypoint. (For the sake of completeness, the toll road option is only available for use with Google Maps the highway option is available for use with Google Maps and with Open Street Maps.)Īs a result, the highway and toll road buttons at the top of the map are gone. The same options are available from the popup menu that appears on the map on selecting the waypoint. Another click on the same button turns it back. How does that work? Very simple: select a waypoint from the list, then click the button for highways (or toll roads) to the right of the list to switch the use of highways (toll roads) for the section up to the next waypoint. That is now possible.īut the other way around is also possible: if you have a route in which highways (toll roads) may be used, you can specify for a part of the route that they should nevertheless be avoided. But you may still want to allow the use of highways (or toll roads) for part of the route, for example for your approach route. In the preferences you have probably set that highways (and/or toll roads) should be avoided. Now it is possible to plan parts of the route in a different way. Until now, the entire route only had to be planned in one way. The most important change is the ability to plan more flexibly with highways and toll roads.This is a major update: important changes!

I have changed some code, and I hope the bug is gone now. There was a bug that could cause a memory error message ('Access violation') on closing Tyre (or on closing a file). An adjustment has now been made, so that hopefully this will be a thing of the past on all computers. Some USB devices (not intended for storage) could cause problems in Tyre, causing the message 'Busy.' to appear far too often and incorrectly. If an internal error occurs, Tyre will try to save the current situation and then restart with that situation. Until now, that was difficult, because every user had to do this themselves via the Task Manager. That is why that possibility has now been brought out more clearly as an option in the 'Waypoint' menu.Įvery now and then there is an internal error in Tyre. In addition, there is an option to search deeper, but many users were unable to find it. The yellow search box is for looking up something quickly. In the previous build the option to swap avoiding/using highways and toll roads was not completely finished yet. The new tab is named 'Waypoints', and it contains the new feature and several older options related to waypoints. This option can be selected from the 'Waypoints' tab in the 'Preferences' window.Īs a result, the 'Preferences' window has changed: now there are 7 tabs (instead of 6). Lots of people asked for this feature, and now it is realized. There is a new option to have your waypoints displayed on the map: with numbers inside the waypoint image!
#Tomtom mydrive connect showing maps expired update
This is an update with an important new feature: numbered waypoints on the map. In the preferences, the field for the home location could cause problems if another language was set before closing the window. That message is now intercepted and no longer shown. That was irritating, because most of the time there wasn't really an error. Sometimes an error message came up with a clipboard action (copying, etc.).

Anyway, the bug is now gone and the GPX files are created as they should be. Probably very few users have been affected by this, and hopefully no one, as the bug only surfaced very recently. There was a bug in creating GPX 1.1 files. Opening such a file with Excel should be better now, especially for data in cells that contain numbers. We have improved the way the information in *.csv files is stored. The default file type is now kml version 2.2 for those files. We have improved the way the information in *.kml and *.kmz files is stored. (Until version 4.0 Tyre was known as ‘Google-TomTom’.) Here you can see what the improvements and changes are since Tyre was launched in february 2006.
