If your device is one of the older NAV3 Vias
Here's an easier way..... The Favorites file on the "Manage Community Content" page is already a .Ov2 POI file
This method saves the faffing about, moving the Favorites about one at a time on the device to create a .Ov2 POI file
If required get the latest MyDrive Connect Here.....

If you’re running the latest MyDrive Connect… The menu has changed slightly.....
With your device turned on and plugged into the PC USB port
With MyDrive loaded and the MyDrive showing on the PC Taskbar
[h3]RIGHT CLICK[/h3] On the Tomtom Icon on the PC Taskbar
Then…Click on the Link in the Menu to open the "Manage Community Content"
Note... If you're using Hidden Icons on your PC's Task Bar
Click on the up arrow Icon on the task bar to access the Tomtom Icon[/b]
With your device turned on and plugged into the PC USB port
With MyDrive loaded and the MyDrive showing on the PC Taskbar

Click on the Link above to open the "Manage Community Content" page
Then Scroll to the top of the Open Window to the Favorites.Ov2 and Click on "Copy to computer" I saved my file to the Desktop
Rename the Favorites .Ov2 file you saved to the Desktop as "_Favorites (Note "_Favorites.ov2" The Underscore before the "_F" is not displayed on the Tomtom screen, but it forces the POI category to the top of the list of POIs so it's easy to find
Use My Drive to load your New Favorites POI Category to your device
Using MyDrive.....

You can now delete the MyPlaces that aren't required (Saves the MyPlaces blue star screen clutter) and use your New Favorites POI Category instead
Another advantage, of a Personal Favorites POI file, is that you can search for an Individual POI within the POI Category: See.....
