Tom Tom Rider 440
I use Route Plan on my computer to plan a circular route, starting from A and returning to A as my destination, with a few stops. I regularly import the route into the 550. However, when I start from A, the Rider tells me to go directly to B, without following the entire planned route; only after I've traveled a few kilometers does it give me the correct route directions. The only way to do the circular route correctly is to use the Rider with emotional routes, but it's very cumbersome to do it from the navigator, and I can't save the route. I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Thanks for any help.
 
If I have understood your message correctly:

You are starting at point A and asking your GPS to return to point B, which is also your starting point A?

The best approach is to add several waypoints to your loop route.
 
You understood perfectly.

Yes. I'd like to take a ride on my motorcycle, starting from home and returning after a few kilometers. Everything works fine using TomTomPlan on computer, everything ok syncing the Rider550, before my departure the Rider 550 correctly represents the route on the display as planned but then, when I start the trip, for the first few kilometers it tells me to go back (adjusting the route recalculation) to arrival directly at point B (which is the same as departure point A), my house. It's as if it's saying, "OK, I get it, you want to go the whole way around." And that's when it becomes perfect.
Maybe (maybe) I think I understand. Using TomTom Plan, I usually define the starting point (home) first, then the stopping points, and finally the destination (home). Perhaps I should instead define the starting point (home), the destination (home), and only then the waypoints. I'll try on my next trip and hope this solves the problem. Thanks for your interest.
