Free scenic routes on TomTom.com - how do I download them?

longwori

I notice that in the Plus services, on the left hand side of the screen there are free scenic routes advertised which appear to be itineries that have been constructed but I cant for the life of me find out how to get to a screen where I can download them.

Does anyone know how to do it? I bet its obvious but I cant see it! Embarassed

It does state "a plus service for the Rider" so I guess its intended for the two wheelers - not those with PDA etc - Mike

You tweaked my interest, so I took a look...

In the plus services, I found a "Routes" section, which says "Scenic Routes are now available with a RIDER promotion! To activate your promotion, check out the flyer "Ready for more" in your TomTom RIDER box. " - so I took a guess, and entered "RIDER" into the "Activate your TomTom Promotion" box, and hey presto, a load of routes to download.

Cheers,

Steve.

Steve is right, it does work.

All the routes do state that they are for bikes though so I imagine that some of the roads will be hard to pass for cars?? Wink

Also, the routes were optimised for the NAVTEQ maps supplied with the RIDER, so they may not quite 'marry up' with TA maps.
