Hi
@bendbm
Many users have asked for the facility to backup their MyPlaces to a PC
The MyDrive Route planner allows you to download your data from the Tomtom Cloud
The file looks like unusable Gobbledegook, the MyPlaces can be found in the file

Hello YamFazMan, thank you for your comprehensive and helpful answer. I have done all of the above but the ov2 file shows in the device's My Places as its file name and does not break out the individual places. Do you have any suggestions as to why that is? Also, there is nothing at all in the My Places section of the My Drive website.0

Hi YamFazMan
Thanks for your help so far, I also uploaded my OV2 file and it saves as Points of interest and not Favorites. Is there a way to move these POI's to favorites
Thanks

Hi
@IrishJohnD
Welcome to the site....
I see from your profile you have a Tomtom GO Discover... What model is the other device you wish to sync the Favorite/MyPlace from or to ???
