How to plan routes with Google Maps and use them on TomTom devices

Most RouteConverter users wonder, until they figure out that routes planned with Google Maps on the PC sometimes do not match the route that a TomTom device displays them after they have transferred the route to the device.

The reason is that the TomTom device uses different map data plus a different routing algorithm when compared to Google Maps. Thus its a good idea to set more waypoints and doublecheck on your TomTom device that the routing of the TomTom device matches your desired route.

You have to learn where to set these waypoints. I always put them on streets I want to pass by in all cases - and always in the middle between road intersections. This ensures a rather predictable routing on the Tom Tom device for routes planed with Google Maps.
