- Create your route in Google Maps and then copy the URL from the address bar
- Download Tyre to Travel and use it to import the route (File, Import from Website). Then save the route as xxxx.gpx
- use Route Converter either online or downloaded to read the xxxx.gpx (File, Open) as waypoints and save it as xxxxx_route.gpx (File, Save As, then choose GPX 1.1 format)
- save the xxxx_route to USB stick and import them into the car using the import route in the settings menu.
- go to select destination, stored locations, routes and select the route you have just imported
You will then find that the car will show the entire route using the way-points that you have selected in Google maps.
Using this will also allow to converts Garmin, TomTom, KML or just about anything into a route that can be read by Sensus Connect. You can read these other formats into Tyre or Route Converter and then save and import to the car.
I hope this is useful - certainly helped me this past week!
BTW - all the software is free

Thanks very much :-)
I had a number of routes in TomTom itn format from my old SatNav - from home to Paxos in the Ionian with a number of stopovers/return/alternatives. I couldn't find a way to do this and had resorted to naming each of the waypoints in a 'Saved' Group with a numerical prefix do I could 'simply' set each destination in turn.
Your suggestion has worked perfectly - I just had to rename the Route on Sensus (as it named it as the first and last points/destinations) to make it simple to understand.
Great piece of work and advice.
