TomTom Rider - how to disable 'Drive Mode'

[HMR]

The rider is fast, its screen is fine, the sound in my helmet is good enough at normal speed, I can take calls, well, so far it is a winner. Except for the mounts...

.....and that one can't do route planning. For those of us who ride bike for fun the TomTom is useless. It's only good for showing the fastest way from A to B. This is not enough for most bikers.

Anyway, it's good that you are happy with it. It obviously can do what you need it to do.

But you can do route planning...it is just a little more effort than Mapsource. I plan routes using Autoroute, and import into the Tomtom. If you don't want to go to that much effort you can use the software that Tomtom provide, but I find that a bit too convoluted to use regularly.

I have searched around because whilst I have no problems with the Drive mode, I would like to swap the applications around so that I can access the Tracklog and the Off Road navigation modules that I run on it....good job I don't ride my bike for fun of course...

I cannot send my my routes to my device when I connect it to the serial port. I used to work but now all I get is a message saying it cannot find device. The maps are sent ok using the USB port....I have tried using the meue bar and the symbol, disconnected the serial port connection rebooted pc...Help

I'm a little bit confused here (not hard I know.... ) because I only have a USB connection.
