Sorry Its The Favourites Thing Again Options

[Andrew Poulton]

I HAD SEARCHED FOR THIS SO SORRY.

I want to copy over my favourites from a GO to my new 510.

Just had the answer from TOM TOM say it cannot be done as they are different formats.
I found a few posts under TRANSFER favourites I/L of COPY I previously searched, but not much help and I am not much of a techie . I did succeed in copying over them after a rename and help from a mate from a GO to a ONE 18 months ago.

I did a recent update on the GO from 5.410 and promptly lost them all !!! Why ??
so went to old backup.

[I have a GO classic with ONE maps and P/Code search and software enabled following the theft of the ONE. Got permission from Tom Tom with all the docs]

Can anyone direct me or help.

Once again sorry if I did not find it and its all been said before and I get some stick [as I note on some searches]

OK for you and Jamer...

the file is called "MapSettings.cfg".
Check you've got your file extensions displayed in Windows - important when dealing with the TomTom as so many of the files have the same name just a different extension. Note the capitals as well, they are important in Linux.

On older software versions (pre-v6), the file will be called {mapfoldername}.cfg instead, so it will be something like "Great_Britain-Map.cfg" (note particular underscores and hyphens too!) so when you copy it across to a newer system you will need to rename it as above.

If all else fails you can convert all your favourites to be entries in a new custom POI category (call it 'My Favourites' or whatever) just using the 'New POI category' and 'Add POI' menus on the Go, then copy the MyFavourites.ov2 file across instead (and convert them all back again if you want).
