Since Google changed to "My Maps" I can't transfer those maps to TomTom using "Tyre" software like I did with "Classic Maps"

With My Maps I have to export to a KML file on Google Earth and then import that to Tyre. Trouble is it imports between 7000 and 9500 waypoints which the TomTom cannot accept.

Can anyone help or alternatively suggest software that would do the job?

Thanks for that. I have figured out a way of downloading bespoke itineraries onto my TT XXL but it is rather convoluted and involves creating them in Classic but to save them I have to create a duplicate in My Maps which I can then save and add layers to. Ridiculous and a retrograde step by Google but there you are.
