UK green landing with a tomtom rider 550 ..en route p.o.i issues

With the help of the below video, from ( now deceased ) svens uk great green landing channel,




I've managed to adapt hes superb idea to plan my own green landing by sat nav with a road sat nav, I use a rider 550....its s awsome tool

Now here's my issue, if I plan a route say 50 miles long, bearing in mind I've never riden these routes I plan, as per the you tube video, I drop a stop p.o.i i pin at the beginning of each by way..

When I'mactually rideing the planned route my display does not tell me how far it is to each p.o.i, or when I've arrived at the p.oi..

It may seem odd, and I hear you saying how can you not see your at one of your p.o.i stops, but some of the enterances to these uk Greenlane by ways are overgrown and easily ridden past


How do I get the tom tom to display the distance to a p.o.i

Or let me know I've arrived
