Yes, but will it work with bespoke Tyre routes with multiple waypoints or is it just an A to B job?

Buy tomtom phone app. Bought mine a couple of years ago. Free updates for life and transfers to any smart phone. Has all normal tomtom functionality as far as i know. Great back up sat nav when needed. Bought for £40 with europe coverage.

Yes but will it accept the Tyre itn routes because the new TomToms won't as far as I understand it.

I usually create my routes on Moto go Loco, transfer them to Tyre and then to the sat nav.

Yep, best move I ever made. Loathed to pay £49 at the time for Full Europe, but it's been fantastic and when abroad uses no data

I think Garmin support that but so does Google maps which if free on all Android phones. They have a link to another app, not sure if it's the same company, so I would guess it works with that: https://www.myrouteapp.com/en

Only TT accepts ITN AFAIK.

If you can't find TT but can find Garmin, Garmin accepts GPX files which you can convert from ITN using TYRE or ITNConverter.

I always travel with a spare identical device...

In desperation I formatted the TT, then re-loaded everything from the computer and it's working - for the time being.

The new TomTom riders (400/410 etc) accept itn. & gpx. files.
