It would be great if Google Maps and TomTom could cooperate:

* A TomTom device does not cooperate with Google Maps by itself.
* I wanted the possibility to point out my routes and some points of interest at home with my computer.
* If you buy a TomTom device, you can use the TomTom HOME software, but the possibilities of this application to plot a route are not really great.
* I did not want to push my finger onto the touch screen of my TomTom device every time: to add one waypoint to an itinerary, I had to crawl about three or four TomTom screens each time...

I own a tomtom OneXL and tyre is the single program that makes that device useful. It integrates w/ either google earth or google maps and allows you to plan our routes and itineraries quite nicely.

I just planned a road trip to boston w/ eight tasty places to eat along the way. Not just that but I get to use the tappan zee bridge! and hopefully avoid all the crap.

If this works out I'll be posting routes + maps of places to eat RSN.
